Shocking News

The air was still, the light was mild,
A day like any, gentle-styled.
Then came the words, a whispered phrase,
That shifted sunlight's golden haze.

No thunder cracked, no skies turned grey,
No joy erupted, come what may.
No sorrow stained the listening ear,
No cause for celebration here.

But in the quiet, something stirred,
A truth unfurled, a life unheard
Now whispering secrets in the breeze,
Planting seeds beneath the trees.

Not good, not bad, a different hue,
A landscape shifting, fresh and new.
The path ahead, no longer known,
A future planted, newly sown.

Shock waves ripple, small and deep,
As promises the future keep.
Life changing news, a subtle might,
To alter course and guide my light.
