Changes

Life sometimes 
       rolls on 
     for 
     years
             leaving us
  in a state of limbo
perhaps if you let the dark 
    alone
            light will renew itself
at least that is what earnest thinkers 
     seem to say
     but at other times 
  it seems that 
          despite our
best efforts
        we are trapped
             by shadows
Darkness - a living thing
       it haunts our days 
  If you can enjoy 
                     yourself
   even for a little while
take heart
                     the time will 
    come
 when you step past the known
     taste the wine 
of a new reality 
     feel the pulse
     of the world's heart
which beats on and on 
Shadows nonwithstanding
