Turns in the Road
some change is good
some change is bad
some is just change
serving no purpose
rearrange the furniture
shake your head a bit
change it back again
and still not happy
no real need for some
the wheel works fine
but always improve
just look at the tire
but avoiding evolution
because of inner fear
not only restricts us
it can stagnate as well
stand steadfast in you
retaining the person
let the changes come
and know who you are
changes can often hurt
but they can also heal
opening new avenues
to find our inner peace
I shall strive to embrace
those changes I must
welcoming the growth
while praying for the best
the journey continues...
a comment left for me on facebook: You're good at making us think...even if our thoughts are not the intention... absolutely love change... seems like life is always on the move... hardly ever standing still...moving... always transforming in one way or another... (life also allows... & sometimes demands... stillness & that's ok too).
ReplyDeleteI have to say this is my favorite stanza:
ReplyDeletestand steadfast in you
retaining the person
let the changes come
and know who you are
The other stanzas vacillate and show the many options changes can bring. This stanza is a stalwart amid all the possibilities presented.
I must say I don't know how we avoid evolution; revolution perhaps. If it's a synonym for "a deep change in one's life", then I accept it a bit.
The difficulty you do not yet address: Which changes to you "fight against the dying of the light" and which to you embrace? It's individual, of course. It's time-dependent, of course. We don't know, is the answer I'm looking for, but I still want to know.
