The world has shifted

I do not see it in the ground, wet with many rains

I do not see it in the still pools, fat with Winter’s clouds

They remain in their repose.

I feel it in my soul, my marrow cries out

for peace once again

Has the world been healed?

Has the end come for us all?

Only tomorrow's silent birth will tell

for now I must sit and wait

Content to muse

As the liquid of my soul settles once again

This change has been beyond the edges of hope for so long

So long have i sat outside my own door, afraid to simply enter

Last night the angel stood before me

I laughed and laid there, bared to the universe

Knowing all was right in the darkened calming night

Yes, the world has shifted, and hope wells up again
