Things as they are
bear no resemblance
to things as they were.
Every day a change.
Every moment something new
(from this whine, that fatigue,
those other bleak thoughts
to
I can do this, I remember,
I can, I will, I want to).
And in a twinkling
(perhaps too cheerful a word here)
in a shadowed shift
it can (it will) all change
as one remembers
this sad moment or that piece of joy
and the new thought colours all.
The essence is this
(I don't believe I'm the first to say it):
neither cling to the lighter moments
nor shun the shadows
because neither situation is permanent.
The flow is the whole point.
