"Change Parade"
  The trees are finally singing
  telling…the world to change
  our shades and colors are shifting
  and my old self becomes estranged
  never did I, never did I
  expect to be rebuilt again
  as the severed leaves play at my
  heartstrings
  always isn’t forever,
  always isn’t forever,
  Winters that retract life’s tears
  trees’ leaves fall fresh out of fear
  cry crisp crunch beneath my feet
  my heart-change refuses to retreat
  blank black blue my night’s reformed
  stars streak skies with hues adorned
  I breath in pride, accept the truth
  a new rose has bloomed
heartbeat-breath out-eyes close-smiling-my way-no way-truth denying
  the Autumnal hourglass
  weighs heavy…on both hands
  my shifting heartbeat tries hiding
  in these forever changing sands
  I close my eyes, I close my eyes
  yet how does my night still has stars?
  when you feel this new heart’s being torn
  apart?
  but always isn’t forever
  always isn’t forever
  honey-dripping eyes that reveal
  quaking fingers need a touch to heal
  sunflowery bold breaks when slightly bent
  the tongue tortioned tight, enticed not to vent
  yet breaking the skin of one’s old shield
  the feel of the appeal of a strong sword to wield
  a learning knave knows to turn knife to blade
  in this Change Parade
  a golden metamorphosis
  a cocoon woven with strings of life
  that one probably won’t…miss
  yet suffering has served the string strong
  molding my powerful wings
  to overcome all those…wrongs
  lips that leak the lightness of their life
  lonely fingers finally find how to fight change’s strife
  wisely walking from wayward lies
  swiftly sighing with honeyed eyes
  the truth unseen is now truth believed
  a new feeling crushed could spell relief
  fear is present to be overcome
  the rain may still fall with all the battles you’ve won
  An ocean of pain fuels future strength
  to pull through this parade of change
