All that you touch

you Change.

All that you Change

changes you.

 

The only lasting truth

is Change.

 

God is Change.

 

Quote from:

The Parable of the Sower

by Octavia E. Butler

Change

 

“Do you think it is easy to change?

Ah, it is hard to change and be different.

It means passing through the waters of oblivion.”

                                                  D. H. Lawrence

 

It dances in mid-winter

as it races with the sun.

 

It jingles in your pockets

waiting to be spent on fun.

 

It is ever moving, never still,

in a deep and dark cocoon.

 

It is the rhythm of a heartbeat

within a mother’s womb.

 

It wrinkles the skin of the aging

and makes adolescents cry.

 

It haunts the halls of hospitals

so that beloved ones will sigh.

 

It is the boatman at the river Styx

as he beckons everyone.

 

It cannot be ignored or stop

stirring the waters of oblivion.
