Certainty of Change


Plum(b) lines drift off center,
little by little, creating changes in the level
with slight variations from normalcy

Joy, fine stitches in quality garments
gathering family, faith and friends
like expected blessings in a rich life

Loss, a course pattern of thick, bright
yarn woven into the texture of existence
like aberrations in bulky sweaters

Pain, a shovel that digs deep into the
meaning of survival until it hits a root
like a hard stop in an endless progression of days

Hope, words written in the wind
with bold lettersexpressing anticipation
of joy, loss, and pain in the certainty of change

(c) Denise Moncrief 2012

  6. As I come across a Wordle Entry -- I am always amazed how very creative poets are and what a gift it is to craft a piece that contains all the words, AND meets other prompts as well. Very nicely done!! Thanks for your visit ~~ Happy New Year!

  9. Without hope and the certainty of change, what would we have to look forward to. So many thoughts you have woven for us to think about in this poem. I love writings that make us think.

    Thank you so much for playing in this weeks Theme Thursday. Hope to see you again with next weeks new theme.

    God bless.
