Coming Back Today

Scott Laurence 1963

Free verse
Everything is in flux,
don't be scared of change.
Opportunity is in the new,
a life re-arranged.

Keep gazing forward,
over the horizon.
The toils of the past are burning,
the embers are rising.

It all comes around,
if you have the patience.
The Universe will take care of you,
just keep the faith.
