Things change.
Even if you like them
and wish they’d remain
the same,
life tends to exchange
the known factors
for new actors.

As familiar faces fade
from old age
preparing to decay
strangers stray
your way.

You may think
what you have is great
but when there comes an end
something beautiful
can rise from within.

Some sick or shimmering
circumstances
can take your sorrow
and direct it towards
a more fruitful tomorrow.
