Loud Change

Change is one 

Who seems gentle and painless

Yet when it happens

It knocks me breathless.

It makes my supposedly silent steps

Thunder and boom like a giant.

It causes a tree's pale yellow breaking leaves

Twang and screech like an iron cord.

It makes the frothy fading clouds

Hiss and dissolve like gaseous chemicals

I wish change 

Could softly kiss me on the cheek

As I drift away 

In my embarkation of sleep

On my 

drifting hazy rest

I would say 

Goodbye to change and all it's guests
