the winds of change

the wheel is winding down
the carousel filled seats
is slowly inching
gently stopping
at your doorsteps
by your house

it's your turn
your ride
it's your take
your side
to tell the story
to feel the glory
to be on the seats
of those who went before you
of those whom you've thought
you'd never follow

up and down it went
the sun spun and burnt
while the moon moved
while the earth played
and slept

now slowly as you stepped
on board
one by one after each other
your feet so cold
you've realized
it's your turn
to leave this life
to give this life
that you adored
that you borrowed...

to all those whose time had come to leave this earth, like this beloved MD of our institution...a sweet journey to forever to all...
