REACTIONS

Life is but time in a restless, deep flow,

Shifting its path as the circumstances grow.

A fund for a mansion, a dream of grand wealth,

Is pivoted quickly by the crisis of health.

When the action of living takes a sudden, sharp turn,

The reaction must follow the lessons we learn.

Life is a mirage if you think it stays still,

It bends to the weather and the force of the will.

 

So too with our fellows, the law is quite clear,

Our deeds are the magnets for what will draw near.

If your action is bitter, the reaction is cold,

But kindness brings harvests of spiritual gold.

For no pulse of energy travels alone,

The reaction will echo the seed you have sown.

Whenever the conduct is forced to realign,

The response follows suit in a perfect design.

 

Stop mourning the plan that was forced to amend,

And watch how the echoes of action descend.

For as you treat others, the world treats you back,

A cycle of justice that stays on its track.

Embrace every shift as the tide of the sea,

For in changing reaction, the spirit is free.

 

A change in action is a change in reaction
