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…
Wonderful poem, Pearl! I love "We are the change, We are the wind.....we are the proof and prophecy of time Changing." So will put. Change is definitely up to ALL of us, and hopefully for good. We have to live in hope!
