The written word will last long after we die.

This kind of sums up the life of a writer in a way. We write down our thoughts/ feelings/ memories/ desires/ emotions/ discoveries, etc... and it will remain long after our death, for people to learn from, smile at, cry over, enjoy, etc...

Excellent. 5/5

Be good actions not just words
for words can be blown by the wind
just as our bodies.

P.s. if the wind is a tornado or a bad storm...
but I see what you meant though.
Good write, thought provoking.
