then.....now

The world has changed

butterfly  to chrysalis -

lost its freedom

in the freedom it has found.

Love has changed

each day rearranging -

different than before

discarding outgrown needs'

myopic focus.

The wedding dress,

lofted now,

has lost its pristine sheen

to children's plays

but still holds the day,

an album close to hand.

It too has changed,

the treebark satin purity

taken aging in its stride

losing some shine

gaining colour

from the cream of days.

But 'so 

throughout the length of days

Thy goodness

changes never.'
