Change
Change is the only constant.
Change is inevitable.
Change is the river that stays in the same place
while never being of the same water.
It starts in the way a child’s new shoes soon pinch their feet,
it is the soft face
sharpening into rugged mountains of grown-up choices,
decisions to be made
or flights to book and pay for.
We go to sleep in a warm
soft
comfy bed
provided by our loving parents
and wake up as a adult
with responsibilities,
commitments
and with sheets to wash and beds to make
wondering where the hell the magic of 'make-believe' went.
Change is our shifting skylines.
Cities like a slow-motion earthquakes,
are distroyed and rebuilt.
The friendly corner shop where you bought sweets
is now an international chain-store
a steel and glass tower
reaching for the sky
brick is the ghost of our neighbourhoods
their whispers heard under the hum of the trains on the newly built railway.
Lifes map in our heads is always five years behind the reality.
The fields of five years ago
are now the housing estates of today.
Hear the quiet rustle of a page
from the history books
turned in a library
telling stories of power
power moving like a tide,
rushing in
then falling back to reveal the wreckage of what was,
rushing in to drown the old statues we knew and respected.
What was once,
is now a memory.
What was once whispered in the street,
is now the anthem of the time.
How do we prevent change?
We can't!
We can try to grab hold of dry sand,
but soon learn - for the secret is in the leaning
and we deal with it by building bridges out of the bomb site that was the past,
by the plants growing in the cracks of the recently laid concrete,
and by learning that the heart
is the only thing,
fragile enough
emotional enough - yet flexible enough
...to survive it all.
Change can feel overwhelming - or beautiful,
depending on how you look at it.
Change
The older you get
the harder it becomes to deal with change
the harder it becomes to face up to change
to accept change
to roll with it
to ride it
and so...
And so as you age
as you travel through life
and you experience lifes changes
and life changes you
you try to bend with it
you try to change to fit in with it
and so you bend
you change
and bend
you change
and bend
you change
and bend
you try to change along with life
until...
change finally breaks you!
Change
