Change

Change...

Change can be like a crossword puzzle
You have all the clues to guide you
To help you fill in the blanks
Just when it's almost complete
You realize one word is off
Not that it's not a "right" answer
Just that it isn't the one you needed

So, you look for your eraser and get to work!
Now, all the other answers seem to follow
Some you didn't even know you knew, but did...
But that simple change was a catalyst
For all the changes yet to come
Before you know it, it's midnight
And your eyes are heavy, and your pencil dull

You hit the lights and put your hands behind your head
As you consider your progress for the day
You gaze into a world unknown, through the ceiling paint
You half smile as you realize you have returned
To your bed and crossword puzzle

Good night, World.
Good night, my Love.
Good night, Me.
