A Change Of Heart

Thunderheads are gathering
Pale in the darkening light
Wild geese in a distant sky
Call out their long northern flight

Looking up from fields of grass
Chilled by the breath of the wind
Thinking nothing seems to last
Just as the sun slips out of sight

As if erased in the grace of forgiveness
Part of the heart dissolving in the falling mist
Gone into the blue
All that passes through
Rising moon will shed her shadow
Soon to show her face among the stars

So it is with us
Till we return to dust
Listen to the quiet hush
In drops of rain
Inside a change of heart

Set to Pat Metheny’s “Change of Heart”
