Elusive traces

 

 

Change is as fleeting as money,

Transient, only realised when it has faded away .

Like the warmth of dawn ,

Gone before it is fully felt,

Leaving a cold , empty chill.

 

 

Change is a thief of comfort,

A storm that scatters what we’ve built.

when I didn’t know how to use  my feet,

When I had to be fed for me to eat,

Growth stole away that fragile peace.

 

The unknown is a scary place,

For now I cling to what i know,

I cling to what I want life to be.

Delusions the only means of survival,

Afraid of what could be or what will be.

 

I’m scared of change,

I’m scared to accept what is.

I can only carry in memory a positive thought,

The opposite of that positive leaves me trembling.

 

Sight i have, but living feels like I am blind

When what I am used to is gone,

busy, are my white eyes searching for the next step,

Looking for walls to lean on, to not fall.

 

 

Will i thrive in this storm?

or will i wither under its weight?

It’s a question I can never seem to answer.
