Change

Summer cries, autumn whispers,
I bloomed, like spring roses, despite my winters.
One by one, my petals fell,
Enchanted by an eerie spell,
Blown away by violent wind and hailstorms,
But they always grow back in their most delightful forms.
It’s a beautiful change, from seed to rose
The one who had to shed his old shell knows
A change is never easy but is a must,
So fear not what you might become, and in the process, you have to trust.

When confronted with challenging situations, we should make every effort to do the right thing, but first and foremost, we must make sound choices. When something is started at a haste pace, it will come to an abrupt conclusion. I enjoyed reading this poem, with many sides of reflection. Nice to meet you here.
