Variability

 Variability —we learn to be agile; we learn to be resilient. In the shifting, we discover — we become, we are, we all.

Shifting like the seasonal changes,

 turning in the open sky.
One moment bright as morning, 

the next a velvet night.
We’re tracing shifting contours,

on an ever-moving map,
Learning how to loosen up, 

how never hold back the great ideas, 

but let them shine

Feel the edges wobble, 

listen to the the steady change,
Find the rhythm in the scatter, 

sing the scattered range.

Variability — dance across the line,
From high tide to the ground up, 

we bend over, and
Embrace the up and down, 

the big  and the small,
Variability — the trend is dynamic.

Some days we’re a comet, 

some days we’re a stream,
Sometimes we’re a single note, 

sometimes a whole song’s tone.
Patterns come in fragments, 

colors shift and blur,
Truths arrive like the stars — 

watch how they twinkle around .

Move with the fluctuations, 

trust the unknown flow,
Turn the unpredictable into -

the place we grow.

  In the scatter there’s a message, 

in the scatter there’s a grace,
Every sudden detour is another open space.
Don’t fear the cursive pathways,

 don’t fear the shifting ground,
There’s a story in the changes —

listen to the sound.

So meet me where -

the patterns break and promise to keep.
In the space between-

the steady and the dynamic realm .
Variability —

 we learn to be agile

we learn to be resilient.
In the shifting, we discover — 

we become, we are, we all.
