Today Changes Everything
For Henry David Thoreau on his birthdayToday came in with a sun rise,
brilliant in its colour, permanent
in its patience, welcoming
in its embrace. A mother’s hug, familiar and warm.
Today ends with a sunset,
closing day’s door with a gentle tap
on time’s door frame, covering our
nakedness of spirit, hiding our childish fears of
the dark. The fading night light cradles us.
Tomorrow comes in with a sun rise,
ever after, evermore, each and every day.
Things do not change; we change.
