Proof and Prophecy





Proof and Prophecy 

The winds of change 

blew and I thought

they had vanished

as crumbled leaves

in winter’s coming

and yet… and yet..

Here it comes

The winds of change

once again on a back

no longer young 

resurging in a heart 

forever filled with 

hope  ..

Oh yes, together

once again we stand

in time’s reflection 

and refraction 

shimmering as 

the times they 

are a changing… 

We are the change

We are the wind 

We are the time that was  

Singing in the time that is yet to be..

We are the proof and prophecy of time

Changing…
