Peace & Conflict   Poetry

  

Change Its beyond me, all the change.
everything seem different, difficult even
for I've always known and relied on
things to stay the same.

Sometimes change is great,
when it brought me to you,
Sometimes it isn't,
when it takes you away

I realize I've lost the familiarity
stepped right into the unknown
traded old formulas for happiness
for your love in return

So I make peace with my past,
for only change is now sure
I dance around my circumstances
and evolve with my future.

I'm adjusting to other changes
like that of not having you next to me.
I'm going forward in my life differently
knowing that believing in itself will set me free

Just so you know this to be true
regardless of how strong or powerful
or immense this change might be
the universe we know will see us through

I'm praying for you to be safe,
Wishing that you are well.
Hoping that life will be kind to you.
amidst this current of change

Its a certainty in the core of my being
that the universe will take good care of you
And I know that the faith that takes me away
will bring me back to where you are.

Writer Profile
Shireen


Being an Indian living in Malaysia, I am proud of the culture that envelops me. There is so much in me that reflects a different art of living and the fundamentals of just being caught up in moments.
I am grateful to God, to the universe, to my parents, grandparents and family for preserving the traditions in me. With a world racing to be modern and sophisticated, simplicity and culture is a fading treasure, eroding with the birth of new-found philosophy.
I do not believe I am any of the better writers. There are so many more talented people around me that I admire and I aspire to learn a lesson or two. I write, simply, so that the universe that inspires me will be better appreciated. I write so that the unique culture, values and rich tradition that I have inherited will at its very least be known to you.
We are all here for fleeting moments and there is so much to be done in such a short time. Too much to see, too many people to love.
I thank you for flipping through this page and taking the time to look at my poem. If it touched you in anyway, I am grateful in more ways than you can imagine.... Thank you everyone and I wish you well.
