I’ve Changed !
As I look back; I didn’t see it coming;
I was so different; that I didn’t know;
my life was a pilgimage to becoming;
my physicality forced me to grow.
My mind was awash with evil and good;
my soul was a molecule of being;
eternity is a concept that’s misunderstood;
confused by hearing and seeing.
We think that life is what we see and hear;
nothing could be farther from the truth;
temptations are what we both love and fear;
a physical kingdom shows us the proof.
I’m often ashamed of things that I think;
but, landscape is hard to ignore;
trials and temptations bring me to the brink;
for I am the tragedy of war.
When I was young; I thought like a child;
this war, for the soul. was a game;
division and competition drives us wild;
until, at last, we feel its shame.
As I draw nearer to entering death’s door;
I long for peace and tranquility;
beginning to understand what life is for;
eternal love is beyond civility.
I’ve laid down all my swords of strife;
my landscape has been rearranged;
love has replaced the hate in my life;
Thank God! At last; I’ve changed.
