I Change

There seem to be a shift… this night
This moment to embrace a change
A night far too dark to simply hide
For myself I know… I remain

If I am to feel… I felt less
And I can see… yet I am blind
Time as always is new… never rest
For moments to be… if I can find

A little chill returns to stay
When anew is change and change is anew
With time dissolving without delay
Be there moments… if even a chosen few

Choices made to deserve its consequence
Contentment to bring acceptance belongs the key
As often will result not land to one’s reason
With this change… can I be free?

This night…a shift there seem
And I embrace the moment I change
When no longer need I hide even in dreams
For the world I know… had remain
