The curse of change
I am subjected to the eternal repetition of days-
when I said I didn't like change, this is not what I meant.
I thrive on the busyness of routine,
the diversity in my waking ours.
But how does the sun rise and set
and I cannot differentiate what day of the week it is?
Change is getting older,
people leaving,
moving away.
This is the change so many come to hate.
I appreciate a gray sky,
a dreary, foggy evening,
because when the sun comes, it is a gift from the higher power above.
Now,
I stare out at the same, sunny day-
and realize
maybe change isn't as awful as I had pictured.

I moved away from my home a few months ago. I hated where I moved to, but at the very least it would be sunny. I moved away from eternal gray skies- but now, looking back, I realized what a blessing gray skies truly were. when summer rolled around, I would treasure each sunny day. Now, sunny days are just a curse.
