Poem #18: "An Ocean of Change"

"An Ocean of Change"

Change
May devastate
And engage
The gears
For turmoil
Through rhythm
And motion.

Newly accustomed
With me
We dance
With passion
Routinely
Through darkness,
Enraptured,
A motion of change.

Befriending
With torture
And fear
And regret,
Unsettled the scenes
For which I'm not set.
I regress
To my dreamworld,
An ocean of change.

These cycles,
Their rhythms,
Programs of old,
Foundations
Are shaken,
No longer sold.
Old rhythms are broken,
Old dances -- renewed,
All traces -- forgotten,
To brighten the mood.

Change
May devastate
But in its power,
It will engage
The hearts
Of many
For refreshment,
A motion, a notion,
An ocean of change.
