Some things change quickly

But others drift slowly

Those are the kind you watch for

Focusing eagle eyes on the shifting.

Endings can come like that

You spend so much time watching

for that slow slide from center,

that you missed the center moving a long time ago.

I watch carefully because I know,

home isn’t always a place you can go back to.

After disappointments and endings

you realize forever is just a dream

that no one really believed in anyway.
