Changes

My life is changing. I'm moving into a new townhouse, finishing my graduate studies, jump starting my writing career. Not to mention the fact that I have relationships that require my nurturing tender love and care even more lately. All of this may sound exciting, but it gets exhausting. Every day, I wonder why these changes in my life have to happen all at once.

Years ago, I read a book by Danielle Steele called "Changes" that included a poem with the same title in the front. Today I recalled it for someone in my circle to explain what I'm going through.

Changing,
Dancing,
Leaping,
Creeping
From old life
Into new,
Wondering
What
I think
Of you,
Unseen dreams,
And newfound
Schemes,
Two lives
Enmeshed,
Embroiled,
Enhanced
At last,
And suddenly
Heart
Snagged,
Held fast,
No turning
Back,
No letting go,
Too late to run
Too soon
To know
If all is well,
Yet time
Will tell
It all,
And softly
In the night
I call
Your name,
Nothing quite
The same
Admidst this total
Rearranging,
As everything
About me
Is shifting,
Moving,
Changing.
