Chapter Thirteen

A SWIFT CHANGE.

Change will always come your way

This was the very answer

One that I received always

For I always had to ask

Yet the answers left me in silence

Asking myself both day and night

Was change a being like me

Did he also have legs to walk

For they say he will come by himself

Yet how will he see me then

Has he got eyes just like me

Or say arms that he can touch

For I need to have a walk

Yet still refrained in such a place.

Thinking to myself in silence

I decided to go look him out there

For we might meet on the way

Reducing my time of waiting

Riding my black flafy horse

I set off very early in the morning

For I was in great fear the whole night

Yet my heart yearned to meet change

Happy that I was this free

Riding only to myself

Without one for company

For only black was my only one

And he also had only me around

Racing at high speed was black

Jumping high over blocks

Or be it the said traps

Wondering his knowledge the more

For he knew the world far

Better than the lonely me.

Black looked tired now

For it was days and nights

That I had no knowledge anymore

Over the flow of time

For the sun rose and set

The moon followed up closely

Yet it also went like that

Crossing lakes and rivers

And various deep forests

That I was in turn lost

For green was my eye sight

Be it day or night

For I had to live that way

Time to time I searched

But it was all to no vail

With dry lips l walked

Yet never at ounce caught sight

Of a clear city for shelter.

Was this the real change

But change could walk

For I had to wait for him

All day in the locked city grounds

A top great heights I sat

Not to miss his arrival

Yet this left me in agony

For I was tired of waiting

Yet even upto this far

Change still looks far

Far away from my kingdom

Yet dad does believe he will come

Has he ever visited him

For he is over confident

In someone as proud as him

At first I thought it's madam Molly

That befriended change most

For she brimmed with smiles

The moment change was mentioned.

Walking all the world way

With a tinge of tiredness

Beards all over my chin

A thing I held not before

Getting used to the forests

The flow of lakes and rivers

And the greenary sight before me

That I was never used to

Learning to make wild fire

More like the early men

Mentioned in the library early world books

Thank god I did read them

For what would I do in a vast forest

Talk of the empty stomach

Thanks to my hunting games

For I got the knowledge to hunt

Enjoying rosted meat all day

And enjoying a fish catch

A new skill in my whole life

One that I never at ounce

Thought that I will learn

Swimming in the lake waters

I heard a massive race

It must be vast for sure

And the horses are all trained

And gallop in unison

Arriving in no time at sight

Your highness, they called

For how long haven I been away

For I lost my way back

And waited for some time here

Yet change has failed to show up.
