Change ~ a poem

Change

Changing color,
Changing size,
Right before-
my very eyes.

People laugh
and people cry,
people live
and people die.

You are changing,
like the sky
with colors that
pass me by.

Never stopping
to consider
what was left
behind.

The friend I knew
lived as they died
and now they’re gone
and i have cried.

Changing form,
from one to another
to a shape-
that leaves me in wonder.

You assure me,
that your still here
but on my cheek
theres still a tear.

A tear for you,
a tear for me,
a tear for everyone,
now let it be

The form you’ve changed to
I can’t ignore-
it seems that change
is at the door.

But i wont forget
that friend of mine,
whos colors flowed
and brightly shined.

But now they rest
in peace for all
under the tree
of the changing fall.
