Changes by Susan Williams
changes in the warmth of the soil
from spring to summer to autumn to winter
changes in the fall of rain
from warm and pattering to cold and slashing
changes in the sunlight
from falling through the leaves to tracing patterns on our skin to fading to grey
.
.
change has been in the wind
for a long long time now
.
.
and now I see
change is in you
change is in the silence between us
if you stay, I will stay with you
if you stray, I will leave you
……even if I stay
