Adjusting
And rusting
Can be the same thing
When something is sitting for too long
With too much water
And air
It goes through oxidation
And a creation
Begins
Of rust
Just be careful
My friend
That when you bend
You do not break
That when you stay
In the sun too long
You do not burn
That you turn
Every so often
To keep off the rust
You must
Not lose you
In the stew
Of newness
That surrounds you
I love you
And have thought of you lately
I worry about you
And care for you greatly
And hope you are finding yourself
Or have done some changing
Just do me a favor
And once a day
Do something you love.
One thing.
Take a picture.
Hum a note.
Listen to the birds.
Rhyme some words.
Just
Please change
As much as you need to
But don't forget
Who you used to be
And what you used to do
In the proses of becoming all the things you could be
All the things you could do
Just please
Don't forget all the things you used to be
And used to do
Please
Please my friend
Don't forget you
Because, a lot of people liked you.
Including you at one point
If I remember correctly
Things need to change
They need to grow
And need to be free
But when things get strange
Just know
That with every plant
Started a seed
Weed out the weeds
But remember the seed
