When Times Change

It’s hard to grasp.

How one day is innocence

itself, calm waters to the horizon,

broadcloth sails billowing

against a coral sky.

The next, you’re diving

for cover,

canon balls plummeting

all around your boat,

and the comrade you thought

had your back

has left on the only raft,

leaving you wounded and alone,

conjuring easy seas

of the past.
