Change

Things can change like the wind very fast
Life like the weather,  stormy or not
Feeling the moment like it's the last

Going with the flow, harder than thought
Coins tossed with wishes, gambling at best
Life like the weather, stormy or not

Worry like a thief, wanting to rest
Time races forward, dreams stay in place
Coins tossed with wishes, gambling at best

The clouds still look to be lined with lace
Guiding me through bright gardens that bloom
Time races forward, dreams stay in place

I'm still the same in an empty room
With view through the window, I  can see
Guiding me through bright gardens that bloom

Colors bright before wilting quickly
Things change like the wind very fast
Confusion fades, leaves fall from the tree
Feeling the moment like it's the last

This was really good Heidi and you are right, life can change like the weather. Some days a fair and some not so much. Beautifully done
