The Universe at its play - Change

 A second chance has come our way,
We want to now savour it well, we say,
These don't come to us a plenty,
Not after the teen years and the decade of twenty.

Gibberish, says the Universe back down to us,
It pushes over several changes that we have to now rush,
that strip us and hurt us down to our core,
And here you were thinking, your life is a bore.

Take this, take that,
the Universe laughs in its play.
You thought you would sleep easy,
See what's coming your way.

You need to reinvent and accept what comes,
or else be hurting because your vision is blunt.
Rigidity and change make for such a bad marriage,
Each walking towards the two ends of the carriage.Then with all this strife, a second chance, this is, you say?
Where is the joy, when I feel such utter dismay?The Universe says calmly,
Don't be a fool
Look at the route you're taking,
You're breaking every rule.Your roads are now clear of patterns to follow,
Your life is becoming more deep than hollow
Just look at what you have already achieved,

Remember that in you, my friend, I always believe.
