T'is bittersweet knowledge
to see the arrival of a priceless gift
matched by the loss of equal measure.

Every move made,
ripples outwards
until all the land is changed.

Every word said
or unsaid
changes meaning
by its presence 
or the lack thereof.

So many things left unsaid
until its too late -
so many choices left unmade
until there are none remaining.
