And then...

 



Change is like that strong smell

of cut grass or chopped wood

that stops you still.


Patterns, a symbol can be

an illegible sign, 

at first glance.


Or a certain light at sunset, 

or dark that whispers

Where am I coming from?


You are always going

Somewhere.

Next to nothing seems impossible.


I am next.
