Yielding to the Storm

When the changes of life begins to take form,
Learn to adjust and bend like the reeds.
For if you try to fight against a raging storm,
The only thing you'll sacrifice is your own needs.

The storm will tear all your dreams apart,
If you remain forever unyielding to its desires.
Bend to its truth, and let it become your heart.
Yield to it, and you won't get burnt by its fire.

There comes a time, however when even reeds will break.
A fury so strong, it destroys all your hopes of what may be.
If this should come to pass, know what you can forsake.
Give no resistance, and let the winds help you flee.

The winds of truth will blow you to a brand new shore;
Full of promises and undiscovered hopes and dreams.
Once again, the changes of life will begin once more.
This time may the fury be that of a gentle breeze.
