CHANGE LEADS

Change leads to more change
Every trigger triggers another trigger
When life wants to rearrange

Your life and make it even bigger
It uses sudden change and surprise
Pain is an inconsequential by-product

Or a tool, a school, but the real prize
Is your next level waiting to be unlocked
So embrace change that refuses

To be refused and powers itself through
And challenges you and confuses
You and transforms you into a higher you.

WHAT’S HIDDEN IN THE SOIL

How something so good
Can just suddenly spoil
You would be so surprised
What’s hidden in the soil.

How success and fulfilment
Can defy time and toil
You would be so mortified
What’s hidden in the soil.

How the hand that loved
Can suddenly recoil
You would be so horrified
What’s hidden in the soil.

The human heart is a garden,
A kitchen, a fertile soil
And strange things happen
When things come to the boil.
