They cry out in anguish,

Voices never heard aloud

Yet, the weak become stronger

Braving the mighty gusts

Of unrelenting winds

Until they are strong no more

Letting go, their one last grasp slips away

And they float, down to the ground

Lingering, in those final moments

Before their souls blend with the earth
