Change is in the air today,
in me it says, “Hello”,
but distant from reality
I turn and walk away
towards the world of soul
where truth like a beacon
glows steady in the dark.

The dark of life misunderstood
holds like an infant scared
to the times of human life
and the ways of mortal man
destined till they reach the grave
to seek but never find.

Hidden is the secret of our longevity
portrayed as a passing and seasonal foray
into the find, catch, grab, and keep,
of inconsequential wealth
unable like the arms of love
to satisfy a need.

Scared at best, unworthy,
of commitment to the soul
it’s easy, sometimes grand,
to make of life a blind man’s bluff
and wander far and distant
from the security of love
meant to guide and lead
back into timelessness.

Change is in the air today
but it’s winter now and cold,
too cold to for me to realise
the world of soul’s right here
to warm and comfort my distress
at how this life unfolds.

And so I seek, catch, grab, and keep,
what stands before my eyes
bright, bold, and vibrant, colourful,
instead of the unknown
disguised and concealed
in the requirement of survival
through the holocaust of needs!
