To Stir the Pot


                 One door closes, another opens
                    different phases oft find us half-asleep
                 Like the moon, they wax and wane regularly
                    though folks don’t always see

                 Conditioned to think they’re spread out
                     they can come in bunches
                  Disrupting our mindsets
                     evading our hunches

	          And when we think we’ve reached the end
                     another phase may lie around the bend
                  To shake us from complacency
                     to stir the pot ~ to bury reverie
