I keep going
to the well
expecting to find
change,
I am met
with the same
acrid waters,
is my mistake
in taking
the same path
to the same destination
and expecting to find
something new
should I be seeking
a different route,
looking in a different direction
what part of this equation
do I control,
in that answer
lies the answer
Tag: change
Wrestling Change
change is everywhere,
we wrestle it
as though we might win,
halting its progress;
we do not fight the seasons,
though we may not
like their shifts,
we understand
their inevitability
lies beyond our control,
we flow with them;
so too we must flow
within our lives,
adapt to all
that moves around us,
seek out opportunities
to grow;
this is not new,
take a moment
to look within,
discover the subtle shifts
that have taken place
over time:
see the wisdom
change has brought
understanding this
go into the world
Change
anger bleeds your most precious gift,
stealing priceless seconds of life;
causing you to work
twice as hard
to care for what remains;
this can't go on,
you cannot continue
to grind yourself to dust;
don't be afraid of change
keep asking yourself
is all this -
the anxiety,
the heart-pounding rage,
the twisting of mind and body -
worth your gift -
is it worth your time -
don't be afraid of change
move your expectations,
adjust your perceptions,
reevaluate your goals,
how can you incorporate love
in an environment of toxicity,
ask these questions of yourself;
don't be afraid of change
