Out with the old, in with the new
I'm conforming, transforming
but it will never be for you
It's written in between the lines
on my lips
and in the cards
but I still am unsure how to read
the prophetic foreshadowing that will lead
me to the streaming feed
of water
And I'm queasy, uneasy
because the world is changing
rearranging
quicker than I can run, trip, and
fall on my knees
I am the autumn leaves
testing out new colors before giving in
decaying into the ground
allowing my molecules
to melt and morph
and flip and turn
and die and create
and help my bones to permeate
Oh Lord,
help me to allow the vines
to weave in and out of the holes in my bones
growing new blossoms that release an aroma of "death"

I had my fortune read a while ago with tarot cards...so that is where I got the inspiration for this.
One of my tarot cards was the death card, which kind of freaked me out.
BUT it is a common misunderstanding that the death card means literal death. More often than not it represents a major change or transformation. The death/end of something old and the birth/beginning of something new.
