It was here, now it is fading away...

Question:
Something that has been a constant in your life suddenly disappears? Now what?

Discussion:
I wrote this piece to react to the above...

Thought I’d had the puzzle done
But a piece seems to be missing
Much sweat and blood has run
Now peace seems to be missing

Like the tide receding from shore
Under siege from celestial bodies
Sand slipping under my feet bare
Disappearing in turbulent eddies [eddy: a fluid dynamics flow term for a small vortex]

I look up from my feet
And see nothing but light
Why didn’t I notice nature’s feat?
The sun, the sky, the infinite.

Change the way you see things
The things you see change
Dull winter, still harbinger sings
Not chaos, life being rearranged
