Changing The Guard

Marking a new beginning

who’s there this changing of the guard marks a new beginning where fair question becomes quite hard another passage from one age to another stage in life’s little struggle and search for meaning

we seem to lurch from one answer to another seeking solace from sister and brother asking what we inherit what was it of our parents that was of merit and considered worthwhile to pass on as parents what becomes our style can we forgive ourselves for our lives lived thus far has our star burned out or are we still burning bright still searching for the light

everything slows tightens thickens from midriffs clothes and skin to thoughts of what could have been

introspection has its place and reflection helps us pace and determine where we are now helps us sail on the river’s flow so whilst changing of the guard can sometimes be hard a fresh new look helps us recognise if not who we are now at least what’s there behind the eyes and how much more that we can grow
