Change is coming
I hear it
In the wind
It’s a far
Off voice calling
Come this way
Or if not
I will come
There to you
Change is coming
I see it
On the horizon
First as clouds
Then as mountains
Stretching higher higher
And dropping sheets
And sheets of
Rain blackening landscape
And then disappearing
Change is coming
Change always comes
It always comes
It always comes
Oh I know
I know that
It is coming
Which is why
I keep staring
Making you uncomfortable
Because I know
I know that
Eventually one day
You will be
Gone and I
I will be
Staring at nothing
Love is gravity
It keeps us
Grounded for without
Either or both
We would simply
Easily float away
Like the clouds
Do every day
It’s like I
Never thought of
You because you
Were always here
Here every day
Why did it
Take eighteen months
To understand that
It is you
You that makes
My morning morning
And bedtime bedtime
That without you
Those simple things
Would simply be
Just simple things
How did I
Not know that
Those simple things
Make everything else
Between them better
Just like the
Sun and moon
Make my world
The world that
It is better
You have left
Yet I remain
Like the tide
Leaves the cliff
You have taken
Parts of me
There with you
Parts that I
No longer have
They’re yours now
To be deposited
Some where else
To make something
New for you
