One Step Away by Melissa R. Mendelson

One Step Away

Behind the curtains of time,

change is but only a step away,

for without change,

the world would be endless,

caught in the same routine.

Swept up in time,

we march forward

to the tune of change,

but those who no longer hear

the winds of change

are left behind

in a world gone gray.

Only in time

do we find our true selves

and possibly why we were born,

but for us to discover that,

we must keep moving forward.

Otherwise, the world will move ahead of us,

leaving us with nothing but the past,

and then we must wait

to slip back into time

and retrace our footsteps

toward the unknown future.
