Constancy
By John Cannon


Though yesterday we walked in shirtsleeves

into the greening fields

amidst the flowering trees

listening to the bright songs

of returning summer birds,

Today we wake to a skim of ice on our pond

and a dusting of pure white snow ―

nothing dramatic or traumatic,

just Mother Nature’s gentle reminder

that nothing can be taken for granted,

that renewal is a work in progress,

that the only constant

is change.
