legacies

Who can say the trail
our lives will leave behind--
silver-white, spreading like
a speed boat wake, circling away
like jet plane ribbons?

I'd like mine to be
an early summer breeze,
a kind and quiet lifting
toward enduring good.

Now, it bids more like
autumn's armful of curling leaves.
Caught in God's wind,
even that will do.
