Expect Changes Poem by Val Brooklyn Rogers

Expect changes that you know will
Grow this love in time.
Expect these changes which are
Not dreaded, but open each of our
Hearts like rose buds.

Expect changes as a frantic bride
Waiting for her groom.
The types which tips its hat to
An audacious autumn afternoon.

Expect fiery changes that may
Consume each of our hearts in flames.

One beloved to another expect
These changes of subtle pains
That come with torrential rains.
Expect changes of social madness

At a spring wedding of BLISS when KISSED.
NOW seasons turn with a twist.
And all is fair on a SUMMER SUNDAY afternoon.
Expect changes which may stay 'til

The festive spark of June.
When all has SIMMERED and is FANCY
and steamy acknowledge these days as
Fine and DREAMY.

Then the laughter of spring and SUMMER
mingle when AUTUMN touches and more to
Tingle.
Soon WINTER rushes in, a disguise at
First, a slow falling snow.
Exceeding the joy I hoped for akin to

Hungry waves licking the GLADDENING
OCEAN'S SHORE.
Expect changes with IMPOSSIBLE meanings,
And FAIR WEATHER DREAMINGS.
