DIFFERENT TODAY

Mountains change

Every day

Small changes most telling

Over time

Eruptions and flood

Even they move

Slowly in cause

Building slowly up

Steel bridge

Outside my window

Twinkling at night

Atoms bind and whirl

Connections crumble

And fall away

Surely as rain

The continent

Island spit cape

Beneath my feet

Inches across

The globe

All different

Than yesterday

Or last second

We have choice

Not in change

Or standing still

How we become

Who we will be

At end of today

Tomorrow next week

Incremental choice

Micro movement

Toward a goal

Wish or hope

A better me or us

It’s there

Every second

Now only

Our choice

But will we

Make it

Or let it pass
