Change arrives without invitation.
New days dawn without declaration.
Seasons have come & gone with greetings.
Start before starting, in some meetings.
Ends lend to stories punctuation.
Love sidles up on assignation.
New unfurls atop a flagpole’s length.
Old circles back on second wind’s strength.
Rot & spoil, both, born of stagnation.
Time’s last tick burns in conflagration.
