There is Change in the Wind Part III

my back turned
from the morning sun
as i write this morning
so that i can face the river
that carries
my mother's ashes to the sea

facing west this morning
a new direction
i can feel the change
begin to recognize it
name it
hear it
feel it
almost taste it

it is time for me
to tell the truth
as i know it
or knew it then
in my past
in their past

it is time to reveal
some things
to my children
first one
then the other
then all three of them
together
maybe even
their older brother
will join us

the mysteries revealed
the puzzle put together
whole
maybe his coming is part
of the change
i do not know

i only know
the change
is coming
that in my life
change is coming
and i am here
awaiting
the awareness
the warmth
and the joy


Thank you, God, for all this & more. Amen.
