The Winds of Change For some change can start off with a voice,

Comes from within to without to rejoice,

Speaks its mind in lots of different ways,

Conjures up games and very often plays.

At times it can be like a picture,

Black and white often like a scripture,

Now and then it can grow and expand and other times it can appear a little bland.

The truth is it depends how you feel,

Being honest with those emotions can conceal,

Concealing them from the rest of the world,

Slowing down change because you felt hurled,

Hurled into that future they call the unknown,

Standing still on those seeds you've just sown,

Knowing deep down you need to take action,

A nudge at snails pace be it only a fraction.

A small movement now in setting your direction will leave dazzling memories and a lasting affection.

Learn to let go,

Which for some might sound strange,

For the wonderful and wise is just the winds of change.
