As surely as the earth turns
So will we
Bending with the winds of change
Navigating change
Resisting change
Change is constant
We welcome it or fear it
But we cannot stop it
We come to the crossroads
And there is no turning back
Our history is already made
We must move
Towards the change
Sometimes it is good
Changing perspectives
Other times, challenging
We fear things
Beyond our control
Our protests falling by the wayside
Our voices unheard
We must ride it out
Trusting that all things shall pass
And the knowing for certainty
Change is inevitable

The cyclicity of things (and we are all things) is immutable, you’re right. I take it moment by moment…
