change comes quickly
sometimes
just as we knew it would
not unlike an unwanted
intruder…silently
entering
with stealth
in darkness
waiting, just waiting…
remember how
we would wait
a game of hide ‘n seek
with only the
street lamps lit
casting shadows and
you hoped it
wasn’t yours
and then
you were found out
even though
you thought you were
hidden
and we did think so
didn’t we
safe from the
trappings
of life
in our home with a
door closed to who…
to the intruders,
of course…and
to change
but with the
light of day
it all is
clear
like a mirrored
reflection
in cut crystal glasses
but not so…
really
as the crystal is
but jagged pieces
and sharp edges
juxtaposed
fitting but not so
as a piece
here and there
slips
out of view
out of our view and
what do we do
but wait and wait
or turn about
like a kaleidoscope
to view something
else…new
for the domino pieces
do begin their fall
from him to her and
on and on as
change keeps coming
putting in motion
a game of
cause and effect
an unknowing
without warning but life
has no sounding
bells
no alarms ringing
to alert us that
it is here for
change comes
quickly
