Reflection of Change
Change is never easy, right now so much seems to be changing, sometimes I wish everything would stay the same, but alas, that is just a silly dream and time moves on....... In a way this one might seem a bit sad and I suppose it is, when familiar tings pass on into time it is a bit of a loss I think.

We experience change constantly without noticing, and it is a poets' prerogative to record these changes and flesh out the character of them.
ReplyDeleteChange is ... its the moment of conception. Where one moment there was nothing and the next, there is an incredible array of possibility.
Change is ... the spark of faith (as you say, "Letting go ... and grasping what IS TO COME"). BOTH of those factors are worthy of poetic expression, and humanity's wealthy storehouse of poetry and storytelling relies on that delicious cusp, that pivotal moment.
A poet, a storyteller, is compelled to express the experience of change. Their being has no recourse but to splash colour, light, flavour onto those crucial moments.
You cannot help but to share, like the host of a banquet, another appetising course. Another "letting go and grasping for what is to come", and remind us of our own moments balancing on the pivot - "our souls exposed".
