Everything Has Changed….

Everything Has Changed….

What was, what is and what will be
Careful moves, shifts and changes
Challenges, achievements and failures
Que sera, sera, what will be will be….
Everything seemed peaceful, calm and serene
Gentle was the breeze, Icy cool the sky,
Did the thunder speak or flashes break?
Nothing ever disturbed the silver rain.
Life flowed on, silently, gracefully,
Placid noon smiled, and so the eve,
Singing, dancing, swaying…. Hopefully.
Everything has changed, changed fully.
Things can never be the same again,
The white, the blue and the pure gold,
Have cruelly splashed across a grey sky.
The dark cloud’s frightened the world,
Searched prayerfully for a silver lining,
Do I hear the angles soft, and God?
Do I see the grey curtains rolled?
