Essentials Shift

Essentials shift.
Just as priorities do,
When it becomes clear...
The atmosphere is hosting change.

And what is familiar has to be let go.
Like a replacing of a generation,
Growing to develop with understanding...
To comprehend to them what is known,
With a reaching to experience...
Another plateau,
Essentials shift.
And to hold on to that which has gone,
Is not recommended as time moves on.

Essentials shift.
Just as priorities do,
When it becomes clear...
The atmosphere is hosting change.
