I try and remember
That the sun will sleep again
And I am attempting to bask in every second
Even as change creeps
The sun need not sleep
In the name of change
Change is not danger
Change is not defined by pain.
Change is not permanent,
By its very nature
It is the promise of time.
And it’s weapon.
If change leaves a bruise,
Or, over time, a scar,
I have learned that they are multisensory stories, to be read.
Lessons without boundaries
So that the change doesn’t forever have to hurt.
