Changes

The chill from the weather intensifies
Some days you don’t remember your age
As you sit still gulping your least favourite meal
Topical news not your typical tea
Unless it’s quiet and gives you rest

Then the flute hits the rocks
It’s not a miracle when you turn wine to water
Or a testimony when you define your friendships
Some ships never make it to morning
The difference between days is just a date
Only if you remember

You shock yourself with a touch of maturity
And your eyes widen in disbelief.
