NaPoWriMo 2021 Day 29

Change

And as the light returns,
and warmth returns,
you know
that all is change
and everything is process:
progress or decline,
it’s all the same
until we label it.

From beating heart
and thinking mind
to ash and mud;
the fire and earth
will get us in the end.

And all we have are
spaces in between:
the dark and light;
the there and here;
the then and now;
the you and me.

Everything else
is fantasy,
the dreams in which
our lives are lived.

Linda Rushby 29 April 2021
