the voices shrill
unlike the soft tones i remember,
unlike the warm words
folding in around me.

i tell myself
that *it* has changed,
not me:
i am
the same
young vibrant page
on which the world
writes its experience.

but i am the changeling:

darker eyes
and darker mind
now cloud --
perfect --
my vision.

i turn,
trailing manuscripts:

the wiser for the reading.

Welcome, welcome! Much enjoyed your first post.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

I thought this poem was beautiful. The words dripped off of each other amorously like the kisses that slip from the petals of a rose. I loved it.
