Harnessed the Wind
Stop a child from crying
in mid-cry, all the way.
One would have just as much luck trying
to change the night into day.
Attempting to alter the scheme of things
well, I wouldn't know where to begin,
you might as well horse-shoe the leaves in the breeze
and announce that you've harnessed the wind.
Change has it's own way of using Time
and sometimes it cannot be seen,
to try and control change would be a crime
for it's metamorphisis is clear, and is keen.
Never try and alter the Universe.
Manipulate Change, and the heaven's will grin.
You might as well corral all the leaves in the breeze,
and then announce that you've harnessed the wind.
