May 1: Subtlety - The quality or state of being subtle


Change can be sudden

Change can be slow

Change may not be felt

Change can be subtle

 

Change can go unnoticed

But once it’s done,

It is too late

It is done.

 

Small gestures

Turn to habits

To routine

To "normal"

 

My, my

Look what we’ve done.
