What you seek is seeking you!

Be like a budding plant forever,
Cause the moment you think
You've arrived,
You stop to thrive.


The rising plume of pride and ego
Blindfold you to your falling!


Then like a rotten flower you brood,
Despondent by your present-self,
Urging to revive your past-self,
But no springs seem to prosper;


You wonder if you could
Ever bloom again,
Or only gloom at the sight of
Your associate's yield!


But wonders of wonder
Comes a lil butterfly and whispers
You the arrival of springs,
For we all deserve a second chance!
