Change and I Change and I go round about And of that, there is no doubt He measures me in dust and grime And takes each day a grain of time He has no feelings I can see He measures things in time to be He does not love he does not hate He plays forever’s game of fate He is the windmill of our joust He is the symbol of our roust He lets us turn our head in bed And lets us dream eternals wed He lets us fill our filigree And sail whatever argosy For he’s the master of our best Yet does not score the final test He is eternals magic eye That sets the time and sets the die. |

Liked this Sy, I look change in the eye every morning.You are right,he lacks feeling.On good days we make more steps forward than back. Jason |

Change is strange and sometimes ranges far beyond where the eye can see... ripples come from stone that's thrown and seasons' dust will cover the grange... but what is constant is before me now seeing our Sy in wrinkle of brow leaving behind a verse, rehearsed, and making it all better, somehow... ~*~ Good morning, Sy! |

Oh Sy, how much I can relate to this! My Hon and I watched the movie, "Tuck Everlasting" over the weekend. The story of a family who drank from a spring and never grew old. Hmmmm...somedays I wonder.

Personally, 'change' and I don't get along that well. I have a hard time with 'change'. I would prefer everything to remain the same. Excellent morning read love. Tea's on! I'll pour. ~Morning Hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Without change... There's no chance to grow, There's no chance to know All of the me I can be Change is my opportunity! Good write! Patricia |

There have been so many changes in my life...I sort have become used to it. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained" it is said. Speaking of "change"....how about a "wildberry" muffin with tea? Thankyou Seymour for this mornings thoughts. Hugs, Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Howdy Doody, Mr. T.! I thought I'd "change" my intro this fine Spring morning! Change does offer us the opportunity to grow, mind you I do not always enjoy the growing pains! Another fine specimen from thy pen! Loving hugs and a sunny smile, Linda |

Wonderful write and such an important subject. Sometimes I beleive our perception of change is what matters. But those perceptions can be so hard to alter. This is a daily concept I am always trying to wrap my little brain around. Great write! Like the rythm too. Make your words as sweet as honey, someday you may have to eat them.
