winds of change

.
a wind of change within a heartbeat's thrum
will alter quite, if not destroy, a world
with unexpected loss in life's calm rhythm
into a dark abyss one can be hurled

a wind of change can also fairly flow
preparing us for life we know to come
allowing small acceptance-seeds to grow
declining in our turn, each one-by-one

but as those life-defining moments chime
some leaving gently, others all aflame
though winds of change are blowing all the time
all manages to somehow stay the same

for even though we're here, and then we're gone
still faith in life and love continues on
.

Everyone can relate to this in one way or another but it is always true
And a kind of wise sound come at the ending couplet..Thanks for sharing.

but as those life-defining moments chime
some leaving gently, others all aflame
though winds of change are blowing all the time
all manages to somehow stay the same

an intriguing write from an agile mind.
