Change (S. Bean)

A change is coming; I can smell it in the wind.
A gentle reminder of life's little mysteries.
It carries the message on the breath of the world,
And we learn from it what we can while it is with us.
I embrace this wind and we dance just like children
Excited to be near each other and overjoyed to share our news.
It comes to me and it leaves just as simply
But this emptiness is not its fault.
This void comes from knowing that a change is coming
And not allowing myself to accept it.
To live in this world and to breathe with it's wind
Requires the strength to let go and accept.
A change is coming; I can smell it in the wind.
And I welcome it, with outstretched arms and a happy heart.
