Forgotten Poem by William Kofoed

Forgotten,
leaves blown upon the wind where no one sees.
Forgotten,
a gull soars upon the wind over the open sea.
Forgotten,
Thoughts blown onward with a wind faster than
men can run.
Forgotten,
waves wash across a tiny reef that sinks slowly
Under them.
Forgotten.
a sun in a distant sky slowly burns to ash.
Forgotten,
life moves and an egg hatches into cold darkness.
Forgotten,
the dreams and hopes of today for tomorrow.
Forgotten,
a man steps into his darkness,
