This river lies before me
Flowing with fever
Vacuity has no space here...

Its locution shrouding secret storms
Changness occurs with every passing ripple
Reflections of truth shadowed by uncertainty...

Upon my heart lies its indifference to that which surrounds it
As the moon rises to delineate the place that was left behind
Torpid thoughts resurrect into time...

hi deb!  i think the kind of title you need here is one that gives a clue about what you're specifically talking about.  always fun to do that.  also, i dont think "changeness" is a word, and even still i dont think it works there.  id stick with just "change"  
luv Elyse

The first word that comes to my mind for a title is "Flux".  This seems to me to be a poem about the elusive nature of "meaning" and our tendency, like Pellinore (their's an Arthurian trivia question waiting to happen!), to keep seeking in spite of recurring disappointment.

I liked it.

Jim,
wow! you are certianly a deep thinker, as I am also. "Flux" seems to fit perfectly! I debated over this poem at work all day and was on the verge of eradicating it from my collection. The word "flux" has just brought the piece of work back to life for me!!!
Thanks for this wonderful insight!!

Deb:

Actually I think I am pretty shallow.      As for the help with your title ... no prob... glad you liked my idea.

Jim
