changes

changes are good.
it's the hardest thing in one's
life
to do.
but once done, you have
the clarity
of newness.
the smell of fresh flowers.
the touch of
a new hand,
the kiss of loving lips.
once
you decide to move on,
move up,
to be free
of harm,
to be done with the trouble
brought
into your life, you
enjoy the new.
changes are good.
paint the room.
a new rug,
a new photo on the dresser.
a new you.
