Nerves crack and slit, <br />Changing faces all through the night, <br />Fluttering with different mast, <br />Beat the withered veins in either breast, <br />We curse the crocus day, <br />Mildew without decent pay, <br />Changing circumstances, <br />Lost the opportunities and chances, <br />Jingle and crushed with cruel blow, <br />Joy wrench from this present life, <br />To hear no more prayers, <br />Nor received fragrances and flowers, <br />Pleasures swept by in persistent strife, <br />Into the sunken bubble we drop down, <br />Upon memory deep churning ocean, <br />To hear no more the sweetest melody, <br />Echo when time turn to dash away <br />From earth we are swallowed by time, <br />Leaving the thinnest skeleton behind.<br /><br />Gerry Legister<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/changing-circumstances/
