I live my life through the words I write
We can see
hundreds of different sunsets
all in one night,
a kaleidoscope of colors,
where to look away even for a minute
and look back again,
decorates our eyes with a brand new view,
and we wonder,
at how fast change happens.
We can see this,
marvel at and treasure
our lives, and how fast change happens,
with this same sense of wonder
if we choose.
Rising up from the inner depths of me
out into clear view,
reflections and thoughts I knew existed
but of only minimal understanding.
You know the right questions
to pull them forward
and persuade me to spend more time
trying to understand
and appreciate.
Though I am a small pond
with gentle flow from the warm breeze,
each stone tossed in
stirs never-ending ripples
until I am nothing
but an ocean, turbulent with waves,
everywhere.
