 One wading a Fall meadow finds on al sides The Queen Anne's Lace lying like lilies On water: it glides So from the water, it turns Dry grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you Valleys my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes. The beautiful changes as a forest is changed By a chameleon’s tuning his skin to it; As a mantis, arranged On a green leaf, grows Into it. makes the leaf leafier, and proves Any greenness is deeper than anyone knows. Your hands hold roses always in a way that says They are not only yours: the beautiful changes In such kind ways. Wishing ever to sunder Things and things' selves for a second finding, to lose For a moment all that it touches back ro wonder. Richard Wilbur % © 124

Change of Time What has happened to the past. Where has everyone gone. Why doesn't anything last. Why do I feel all alone? Should I be happy or sad. Knowing everyone's not the same. Remembering everything I've had My sorrow, laughter, and pain? Where do the years seem to go. Why do they go so quickly in rhyme? Isn’t there any way to slow. This rapid change of time? Cindy Harding Changing ... It seems like kindergarten was only yesterday, entertaining you in its own special way. But that was in your youth. And life had not taken its toll on you as you knew it should. Now you have bloomed into the world of high school, where intelligence and maturity are the best tools. You begin to respect the old and the wise. And go to them for wisdom and service. Now the responsibilities and tortures of life are upon you. But one must endure and do what he must do. There will be more suffering along the road. But we must learn to carry the heavy load. Now you say you can't wait to graduate. But is that how your feelings really relate? And in our hearts it will bring great sorrow. Theresa Andrew Changes in Life The tip of a branch woven in silk. A gossamer display of A transforming life. Hanging silently under depths of snow and the sun’s passionate rays. But with passage of time Soon becomes an elegant independant Creature, the butterfly. Laurie James 125
