Change the World

    Futures Bright

    2020

    Days may be dark and nights be longBut soon the song will change its tuneThe beat will heat the winter’s chillUntil the thrill returns to sparkAnd mark a sunrise, flaming redTo quench a hunger still unfed, a lightThat’s set to reignite the flightOf dreams and schemes and imaginings.

    Work may be hard and stress be highBut soon the sky will change its moodThe blaze of rays will melt the cloudsUntil the shrouds are memoriesUpon the breeze, the blue beyondLike ripples on a tranquil pond, a signAcross the arc of time to rhymeOf scars and stars and destinies.

    Life may be large and love be wideBut soon the tide will change its swayThe day you make your way towardsA cause that’s calling out to youTo shift and shape, to reawakeThe passion that’s inside, the needTo grow and lead, the seedOf traits and fates and futures bright.
