NON-LINEAR PROGRESSION

As winter turns to spring,

there are days

when it seems

spring takes a few steps

forward

and

days when she takes a few steps

back

before coming into her own.

 

One would think nature

should have

perfected

this change

by now

since she’s been practicing for

ages.

 

But, if this is the nature of change,

forward then back,

clear then stormy,

why do we think

our lives,

our work,

our plans,

our projects,

our dreams,

will move forward

on a linear progression?
