change

i was so busy being
who i knew i was
i forgot to be myself
my smile fell asleep
my life was a song on repeat
so my heart said

change
change the beat
change the key
change the style the language
change everything
and then change it some more
never stop changing
whatever you do
don't bore me

change
change like the moon
like faces
like breathe in breathe out
like the weather like days

change
turn the page challenge stasis
break cycles go crazy
change like the chameleon
the butterfly the tadpole the snake
shed dead skin grow new bones
make changes within
in your head in your home
that is where changes begin
change your name your routine
the channel the constitution
when change calls change it all
change is all (r)evolution
so change change evolve revolve
change your life change your love
change it up
change like bodies
like the beatles
like coins calendars clothes
clouds tides stories
like the dictionary
change like the sky
like water like fire like flowers
like wine like trees like minds
like the breeze like time
change like spring
like the apple you ate for breakfast
like the air in a room
when one song ends
and a new one begins

change
be bewildered
be brave enough to trust fate
be baptized in chaos
don't play it safe
stand naked in the rain
bathing in entropy

change
change is your angel
flux is your friend
remember –
everything that is will cease
only this is unchanging
this alone never ends

surrender –
this is the secret
to peace
