The Consistency of Change
Change,
it never sleeps,
I can always feel it around me,
as a slight, elusive pressure;
a passive anxiety. It's the cause and effect
of every moment,
the harbinger
of tragedy and triumph,
the fiber
of every nightmare and every dream,
a sentinel
over the evolution of our fate...
and we are merely
reactive servants
tempering innate reflexes
with the conscience of mankind
and morality of faiths.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 15, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: Thanks to everyone that entered this contest. It was difficult to choose because there were so many excellent writes. I've chosen those writes that made me think the most and caused me to think more deeply into the causes and effects of change.
Thanks again and sending out HUGS and best wishes to everyone.
