Recently I ran across a status update from a friend that struck a chord. The post read in part ” “Change comes with seasons so as the seasons change so must we… I wrote the poem which I’m sharing below nearly two years ago entitled: seasons change with a similar theme.
Life is about evolution. Individually we go through a plethora of changes every single day. Sometimes we fight against these changes and refuse to adapt and accept new realities. Situations change. Relationships change. We change emotionally. We change mentally. We change physically. Change can be good. Change can hurt. Change can heal. No matter what though; change in inevitable.
Weeping like a willow
Monsoon rains
tear stained pillows
hurricane came
clouds dissipate
so it seems strange you no longer seem the same
Is it me I proclaimed
as my seasons changed
ominous moods came
orange clouds turned grey
then blue as I turned to you
But on this day it pains me to say
maybe you were more fair-weather than true
I’ve come to realize as I look to the sky
through the storm you were there to pull me through
now my sun shines bright and I turn to the side stunned as I no longer see you
Time always reveals
which sequoia is real
which will last after the storm has passed
This I confess
no need to worry or obsess
as I move on no hymns, dirges , or melancholy words to profess
Our journey is now through
but I’ll never forget you
just reason it’s our season‘s time to change
since it no longer feels the same
