Cycles (short)

The world changes
as it spins
round and round,
round self and sun;
the world changes.

Changes
- not always to the new,
not always for the better,
but change nevertheless;
unavoidable,
unstoppable,
unquenchable
- ride it or ruin,
seek only to guide it
towards the better.

The world changes
as it spins round and round,
round self and sun;
the world changes.

The only permanence
is change;
we can
lose our way
in the universal turmoil,
or
we can grow
and flourish
in the nutrient of the new.
