Analysis of The Wind Whispers Forever



If you live your life fully, death approaches as a
   friend

If you’ve risked it all, holding nothing back,
  his greeting will not offend

If you exceeded your limitations, you are finally no
  longer constrained

If you’ve given back more than you hoped to receive,
—the wind whispers forever your name

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)
