Nothing Changes...

Seasons follow
one another
and the leaves follow suit
we take pictures and document them
from year to year
Things change
but nothing changes
Children grow up
and emulate each other
and friends do the same
we take pictures and capture the moments
from year to year
things change
but nothing changes
Our bodies yearn
and learn and grow older
and others do that too
from year to year
things change
but nothing changes
we are still here
together
but separate
and we are still here
separate
and not together
things change
but nothing changes
My heart is still
beating
My heart is still
bleeding
things change
but nothing changes
Neither time nor space
nor lack of touch
can erase
that things change
but nothing changes…
