Circumstances
change like
the speed of light
as we forget
ourselves
in the tune
and rhythm
of the world,
losing all hope
and direction
as the pain
forces us
to misplace
our voices
until a moment
of redirection
when the agony
overthrows us
and we stand
naked,
begging for
our gifts
to be returned
while realizing
that the pains of change
will desist
once we allow
ourselves
to grow
in our newly-discovered
strengths
