Dealing with changes ..

Dealing with Changes .........

The strangest things
Have been happening in my life
For better or for worse…
I find myself changing
But people say..
Life flows because of change

I find my feet
in crystal blue waters
cold and swift currents cut across my skin..
like silvered knives of men of dark.
Suddenly I feel a drop on my cheek
My eyes have given way to tears.

How long can I hide the person within?
Must I always wear a mask…
To be comfortable in a crowd..
For my life is my own…

Just like the river..
Which is mine for the moment…
Salty drops escape swollen eyes….
And unite with the salty waves beneath..

A single tear has lightened my soul..
One moment…
….a fleeting second in time
Has witnessed our meeting…
The next has been a part of its end…
