Dick Green's "Unexpected Change" Poem

Unexpected Change


Too late to go back
To undo the words spoken
No wish does he lack
To bind the heart broken.

Take off the old mask
Head out past parts known
Don’t shrink from the task
Rethink wild oats sown.

Next chapters come slowly
New chaff from old wheat
Old memories voice quickly
Fresh paths for fleet feet.

T’is gone not for naught
Feet now on the ground
Will a new heart be caught
What’s lost can be found,

To run from a sad wind
Would only let fail
Find breezes, a new kind
Then try a new sail.


2010 D. Green
