Spare Change

a tempered pan,

is better than,

a pot without protection…

transforming singe,

of food within,

to tastier confection…

while change can be,

the coins you see,

in couches where you settle…

but change in bulbs,

is beaut·i·ful,

& underpins most petals…

and shifting states,

might make you quake,

when turf you tread is shifting…

but higher peaks,

beneath your feet,

will render views uplifting…

to morph is strange,

and tests your range,

your tolerance for growing…

but worth a try,

so butterflies,

within yourself start showing.
