Change

Change is everything.

It's the fundamentals of life and death.

It affects all objects, organisms.

We authors strive to capture an example of it.

Young to old.

Naive to wise.

Despair to hope.

Hope to despair.

When the character thinks his last thought

His creator sets down the pen.

When the reader reads the last word,

They've all changed.

Regret, wishes, despair.

Bittersweet, hope, awe.

Joy, sadness, anger.

The blend of tastes left in a reader's mouth,

And sometimes felt in the soul.
