Vortex of Change
Standing at a roundabout to the future
Reluctant to traverse this threshold
Into an existence that feels obscure
Into the darkness of the unforetold
Once across there is no returning
Beyond the border of tomorrow
Yesterday is gone, just a yearning
Not what you knew but what you know
Winds of change blow through time
They are neither hostile nor benign
Listen carefully to hear the chime
For change will come without a sign
There exists no door between the two
What comes and goes swirls in the wind
The future is a mixture of old and new
The vortex of time where both will bend
Sliding up and down the scale of range
Between the present and the past
It’s all relative, it is only change
Depending on which way the wind is cast

Time marches relentlessly on. We are living a dream.
