Change

We need to make some changes
Not for each other but for ourselves.
There seems to be no future
As we search our horizons.
Just like a stopped watch
We exist but nothing changes.

There must be more out there
Are we merely here to fill a void?
A void in space, time, or in our hearts?
Change is good and needs cultivating
To create growth if in no other way
Within our very being.

Then, sprouting an inner spirit
to become better people
We become wiser, more interesting, 
and suddenly
there becomes reason to exist.
Reason to look beyond tomorrow.

I love change! I thrive on it. I adore it! "Change is good and needs cultivating To create growth if in no other way Within our very being." Wow! This was written by you for me.
