WHEEL OF CHANGES

One and one two three or four and a b c come looking for a place someone thinks you ought to live in

Curious for sandbox walls that faded into darkened halls and women with no face at all disappointed tell you how to come on smiling

Happily and joyfully a walk home past the imagery of patterns that no one has said should matter

Changes all come differently you'd like to say but all the talking in the world could leave you tired without a second chance to feel which way the winds were really blowing

Now that it's been fancy free a change must come like tragedy and disappointments someone says must be taken bravely

A breath of dawn changed awkwardly the form you played in happily and somberly you're told what you're a part of

A dare peeks out from far behind the sacred law you could not find to look for hands to hold as it got clearer

So soon the lonely hero's thrown your way the colors all fade fast and now it's grey with time's sweet kiss the train is leaving soon to disappoint the grieving pattern making prestige weavers fighting over labels dreams and sorrow

The heroes change as rapidly as you grasp hold of certainties promised by the myths they're all disowning

Without a map or round trip ticket it'll change before you've flipped or missed it better soon decide to live and love life's moment changes loving who you find and it's not hard you must believe it yesterday is not tomorrow's measure it's not where to next but whether you'll release the fears that weathered changes left behind and find that it's really so much better than your plans could ever be than your plans could ever be especially beside the smiling lady and her wheel of changes
