Life’s Timing

As I swing the stick back and forth,
listening to the whistle of the wind,
the sound my weapon makes

cutting the air,
it reminds me of the moments of my life,
flying by so quickly and in all directions,
the only constant I see... to be sure,

is the fact that change is like a tidal wave,
leaving a path that cannot be stopped,
but if I am able to flow and accept it,
I can ride the water...be the water,

change is me and I am change,
like a surfboard that floats and glides,
my blade will fly free...true and strong,
feeling no difference between

it and my soul,
until its time for the ultimate change...
of all changes.
