Description
Life
Changes
Fooled again
By the goddess
Or the fairies
Or those creatures
Who wander
The world
To show us
Mere humans
How easy
They can change
A simple thing
So much time
Thinking
It was all
Figured out
Knowing how
It would end
What would happen
But those little
Imps
Those sneaky little
Creatures
Had other things
In mind
Words were said
And heard
Ears listened
Hearts felt
Souls knew grace
There was
A shift
So big
So huge
So vast
It turned
A part
Of the world
Upside down
So now
Life has
Changed
The road is
Followed
By two people
Who walk
Not quite
Together
Closer than
They thought
What happened
They don’t
Quite know
They are
Willing
To find out
The end
Has not
Yet

And too fast...it seems...
But, perhaps still being on the same road, traveling alongside each other, new insights will be shared.
Great shot and story. Aloha
So interesting, Marilyn! Not sure I could cope with that sort of uncertainty. Beautifully written.
Written like a stream of consciousness. This is very intimate. You've taken us in that stream with you. Reminds me of your white water rafting experience...open to the adventure, hanging on tight, wearing a life jacket and a helmet, known rough spots ahead...but they are a big part of the thrill. And after the rapids there are always spots of calm and shores to rest upon. And you are not up the creek without a paddle anymore :-))) Really expressive and so simply done. Wow.
Very nice work!
Smooth flow from start to finish. Nicely done!
Girl, this is amazing! I drank in every word! We HAVE to catch up though! I read things here and I'm not sure if I assume correct!!!! I'm having a rough week but hopefully over the weekend!!! :)
Nice words maz!
change always near accept and create on wonderful work warm hugs, Linda
Marvelous writing!
Nice work my friend. Life does change all the time, maybe it is the changes the create the life
The more things change, the more they stay the same. My goodness, by the title I thought you were talking about puberty, PMS or menopause. Stellar, insightful prose to go along with another one of your fine captures, Maz!
lol, Harry! Well before I forget, the image is beautiful, worthy of an upload by itself. That aside, the poem is perfect, and I appreciate what you're saying and where it comes from and where it's going. And you say it simply, in your usual short lines, and it ends just where it should. You couldn't have summed things up better. And yes, there are little spirits out there who pick one of us occasionally to see how much they can rewrite & confound all our expectations. (And they're havin' a great time, even if we aren't!) Lovely poem, exact & truthful, and said perfectly. (My favs have no words because the words aren't working right now...just so you know!) Another fav.
I love the stream-of-consciousness, almost song-like cadence of this. I can definitely see you standing up in front of a crowd (preferably around firelight) reciting this, since it has a distinct tone-of-voice quality to it. I love the way you've captured the fickleness of life/fate and everything in between. And it reminds me of something I'd hear by the group Dead Can Dance (my most favorite group ever!!!) Fantastic!
