Your Changes Follow Me
Green eyes shone and pearls glowed bright,
Like a dagger that pierced the darkest night,
But months and weeks strewn along the way
Have blocked the path to yesterday.
A monument in shades of light is like a cairn to passers-by
But nobody will know what I felt, how much I cared or why
A forward-moving wave has come to wash away today
The misunderstood, ill-spoken mistakes of yesterday.
The eyes are darker now, the colors deep, and light
Has fled from surface structures to a frame of mind.
You see more, know more, have more that you want to be,
And though I sit still, your changes follow me.
