time passages

Seen as time lapse photography, life is filled with constant change and alteration. A ball ceremoniously drops and suddenly we are faced with another year. This new one takes the place of the last. Things do become replaced. A gap takes hold where a tooth once sat, silence hangs where conversation once existed, love falls where once only disappointment could, desire goes where once complacence laid, passages of text roll across where an empty page once stared back, knowledge is discovered where there was once only wonder, humility takes the place that once held disdain, and new life sprouts where once there were only seeds.
