Change <br />Said the sun to the moon, <br />You cannot stay. <br /> <br />Change <br />Says the moon to the waters, <br />All is flowing. <br /> <br />Change <br />Says the fields to the grass, <br />Seed-time and harvest, <br />Chaff and grain. <br /> <br />You must change said, <br />Said the worm to the bud, <br />Though not to a rose, <br /> <br />Petals fade <br />That wings may rise <br />Borne on the wind. <br /> <br />You are changing <br />said death to the maiden, your wan face <br />To memory, to beauty. <br /> <br />Are you ready to change? <br />Says the thought to the heart, to let her pass <br />All your life long <br /> <br />For the unknown, the unborn <br />In the alchemy <br />Of the world's dream? <br /> <br />You will change, <br />says the stars to the sun, <br />Says the night to the stars.<br /><br />Kathleen Jessie Raine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/change/
