It’s become a way of life
Changing direction
Fate is playing fickle
With my life
Destiny is peering closely
Moving the markers
Removing resources
Adding new elements
There’s no anger with the losses
A sorrow of losing what’s been
Left behind
There’s hope and renewal and optimism
Amidst the frustration and angst
If life settles again
Will I miss the adventures
The stories
The trouble
Someone must stir the pot
Of complacency
Blending the old with the new
The past with the now
No time for stewing
A long hard look at options
Decisive choosing
Another meal, another night
Another triumph, another fight
Struggle is always a part of this life
I weave in the joy
With a practiced maneuver
I’ve been on the mystery path
Not like this one at all
Full of unknown curves
Limited vision
And a pocketful of dreams
Listen
You can hear the changes
Tempo, keys, all laden
With a new song for a new day
Played in a new way
But for how long
Dancing to this beat now
Dancing to this beat now
For now for now for now
Let the future be there
When it arrives I won’t be ready
Even if I’m prepared
