change

the wind blows
so hard to-night

i can feel it strip the trees
of the leaves
that were once so colourful

just a day ago

and the air
is so cold
so different than it was

just a week ago

they try and tell me
change is good

that the pruning
and the temperature
helps one grow
and mature

but wasn't it
awhile ago
that everything was fine?

time plods on
minute by minute
but all at once

skips a century

before i even got
a chance to see

what i was all about
