Gone With The Wind

It was time for her to leave this world,
Beautifully dressed and long hair pinned.
She was giddy as a beaming young bride,
For soon she would be, gone with the wind.

Her loved ones called out to her,
From just beyond the cloud.
Then she heard an unknown voice,
“Wait! Come and join my crowd.”

“We’ll have so much fun,
For we have no limits, and no rules.
And I’ll shower you with riches,
And beautiful, sparkling jewels.”

She looked at him with furrowed brows,
And quipped, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
With a flick of her auburn hair and swish of her silken skirt,
She went toward the glorious light, to join her leading man.
