Poetry ~ "There is nothing permanent except change " / Janki U Tondon


There Is Nothing Permanent Except Change
It's inevitable, I understood,
It happened when I dreaded it the most.
It took away all I got used to,
And in turn, gave me knowledge,
That nothing is permanent except change.

I ran and ran but it followed me everywhere,
Chanting 'Embrace me don’t escape me.'
It came every time taking my comfort with it,
Leaving in its wake dread and uneasiness.
I tried to escape but got caught in the calls,
Of voices that said let's change it all.

I lowered my defences and let it in,
To let the world know that I am not afraid.
And instead of dread, I felt comfort,
And with it came knowledge,
That nothing is permanent except change.

Now I live the change, I breathe the change,
In fact, I change the change.
It's inevitable, I understood,
It happened when I dreaded it the most.



Theme/ Summary 

In the words of Poetess Janki U Tondon , "Change is the only constant. Change alone is unchanging. It may scare us but in the end it is our truth. We can run from it but no matter what it is our reality. We can dread it, deny it, disregard it but it always catches up with us, for it is inevitable."
"The prevailing times of COVID-19 have shook our lives. Life as we knew it has ceased to exist. In these trying times, change is the only thing that we can rely on."

Memories of Freedom

Across the winter sky it became from blue to gray, As the snowflakes has fallen down you beg to stay, The air feels cold against your skin when you pray, A sense of peace when you close your eyes and wander astray. At least tell me if I can be like a cloud, To create art in the sky and away from the crowd, Not that I am screaming out loud. We dream about flying and waited so long to find our wings, Each star in space is like a dream in a diamond ring, I am not looking for a king, At least I want to sing. When you open your eyes do they gleam or sparkle? Dancing above the ocean waves spinning around in a circle, Do you ask yourself if you ever wanted to be mortal? What are the problems of being a human when they don’t have their own wings? Do they bring? Or do they cling? No one knows how hard it is to be a simple angel on earth, Even when we give it our worth, There is something deeper than the soul to find how much it is known to be a hearth. Every human goes dark, To lose that spark....

Poetry ~ "Moonflower" / Chelsea Stawicki

Gentle enough so nightly, One star from above forms something so brightly, As the storm rolls with a single tear so gently. That cold tear doesn't just fade away, As it turns from blue to gray, Just tell me you will stay. Help me bloom to become like you, Something beautiful, something new... I won't just be one thing to be true. I will show you something different, Something magnificent! When you cry I awaken to bring you more, After all, you are adored. I will shine and glow, So I become white like the snow, During the night I will grow, Just like time and space from long ago. I am your reflection, I am beside you giving you affection, No matter where you are I give you my protection. We are beautiful, Pure and peaceful, Soul and wonderful. Goodnight my friend, I am here until the end, As we ascend, Hand by hand, Together. By Chelsea Stawicki

Poetry ~ "Love is a Discovery" / Chelsea Stawicki

Sometimes I wish you were here, Waiting for that gentle touch my dear. I walk alone these misty roads to find what I had lost, Is my own body a prison as I am being covered in frost? The falling snow can bring a sense of hope like tiny stars, Falling from the sky I open my hands up to make me think if this is ours? I begin to think why I felt so hollow? Not only because of my sorrow. Am I just waiting for tomorrow? Maybe one day you and I can follow. Image credit : Unsplash At least I give you a smile, Even if you think it is worthwhile. You may not be here anymore, With your wings until you soar. A heart can be black like night, But a soul can guide you to the light. I always wanted to give you something special, To make it official. Whenever I think of you, I don’t just think it is something new, Because I know it is true, Each star is like you. A star in the sky, Those beautiful wings when you fly, Don’t be so shy, There’s nothing wrong with saying goodbye. Someday… I will fly with ...
