Sea Change

                                                                  

How is it possible, at this very late date,

At my psyche's advanced age of inflexibility,

To be reborn, under such a sea change of personality?

 

Something happened, this past week, that yet baffles me,

Bewilders my still-amazed, disbelieving spirit,

Makes it break, spontaneously, into joyful tears and lyrics,

                                                                       

Something I can only believe bodes well for my being,

Foretells not so much the increased frequency of my smiling eyes

But the return of the glow that arrived with me, at birth,

 

Providing the swaddling clothes for my childhood,

Before cynicism, skepticism, sarcasm, and sardonicism

Exposed my innocent skin to the raw clawing of growing old.

 

All I know is that having spent an entire week with Linda,

For the first time — never apart from her, awake or asleep —

She's the sea change that's seized my soul.
