Does my mask of clay

Need to be reshaped?

Will it change me,

If so how?

 

Little difference

Will it do if I'm

Still the same old ass

That everyone knows.

 

Some days are like that,

When you think you can change.

Seems a waste of many years

To even give it a thought.

Perhaps it is "the same old ass" that everyone loves....

Thanks,

On this one I think to disagree. Some folks do change their core values. That may occur when something very tragic happens and they realize that what they believed in all along, just wasn't true.

you are right Jerry. Core beliefs of mine need no changes as what I believe in will never change.

Ahhh . . . But we do change, George. Life pretty much changes us. Physically, at least. But through it all, if we are the same person and believing the same, the changes can be a good thing, just nature rearranging what people see each day. But to be unchanged within your core beliefs, it matters not how many times life changes our outward body.

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
