Adaptation ~ 2


Adaptation and change
not easy when all around seems familiar 
has become comfortably uncomfortable
faded horizons only distant potential
now seem out of reach.

Adaptation and change
in turbulent, violent situations
necessary for struggling survival
control of what has landed venomously
poison to the soul.

Adaptation and change
in the energy and potential of the moment
each foot steps forward til direction is changed
grinding grey habits are broken, 
reaching horizons of yesterday a possibility.

Adaptation and change
keeps at it’s core
comforts of colour, music and home
listening to the playful child within
skipping forward on each new adventure.

“The wise adapt themselves to circumstances,
as water moulds itself to the pitcher.”
~ Chinese Proverb
