*change Poem by Bob Blackwell

*change

Rating: 3.5


Happens,
all the time,
changes come
then changes,
change.

Change
means
something,
sad, exciting,
frightening.

Broken promises,
a loss of love,
divorce,
a loss.

New seasons,
snow in winter,
spring blossoms,
summer sun,
autumn harvests.

Dawn sunrises
Dusk sunsets
Birth, death,
growing
living, dying.

change is exciting,
new countries,
new lands,
new loves,
new wants,
the must have
moments, of our lives.

New creations, new words,
new stories, new poems,
new drama, new art.
new moments of enchantment.
New discoveries,
new worlds, new stars,
new moons, new planets,
Given time everything changes.

I agree, Bob, that change is exciting and important in our lives. We have to be open to it because it is definitely going to happen and can be a wonderful thing. A '10! ' from me. Warm Wishes, Marilyn

Truth penned with skill and economy. And what's so paradoxical about change is that we can never anticipate the most significant changes that will happen in our lives. A poem to make you think. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This stylish piece gave me food for thought, Bob. Yes, life is an ongoing process of change, for better or for worse (recognition of that is perhaps one of the points of the marriage vows!) .... pensive, engaging and though-provoking as ever. t x
