Sandstone...

Clearly, some thing have changed,
how is it i have not?
At least that's how it appears to me,
a bridge of sand few have dared cross...

Throughout the long, hard years
My thoughts have not changed,
my beliefs have stood fast,
and my life has been rearranged ,
more than once...
and yes, i've complained
about the first and last
and i find it wonderous
to have a daughter and a son...
but omens and portents and planets aligning
reading the bones and looking for signs in the sky
won't put the genie back into the bottle...
but they say god doesn't give you
more than you can handle
by the light of the moon
or flickering candle...
