    This poem resonates with the season we find oursel This poem resonates with the season we find ourselves in… leaning into the concept that the only constant is change.“The seasons turn, a constant, gentle shift,
From verdant spring to winter’s frosted gift.
The sun ascends, then dips below the line,
A daily dance, a pattern so divine.And just as nature paints a changing scene,
So too within, a subtle shift unseen.
A thought takes root, a feeling starts to bloom,
Dispelling shadows, banishing the gloom.The caterpillar sheds its earthly guise,
To spread its wings beneath cerulean skies.
A metaphor for growth, a vibrant hue,
Of transformation, constant, strong, and true.The river flows, it carves a different way,
Adapting, bending, never meant to stay.
The rigid rock may crumble and may crack,
But water yields, and finds its way right back.So let the winds of change begin to blow,
Embrace the current, let your spirit grow.
For in the flux, a beauty we can find,
A tapestry of moments intertwined.Though fear may whisper, holding to the past,
The present moment is the one that’s meant to last.
Release the anchors, set your spirit free,
And sail the boundless ocean, wild and glee.For change is life, a rhythm ever bright,
A dance of shadows, and of guiding light.
So open up your heart, and let it be,
The ever-shifting tide of destiny.” - Gemini 😝
