Pivot and Pirouette

Would you change?

One of my favourite singer / songwriters is Tracy Chapman.  I love her!  In her song “Change”, she sings: “If you knew that you would die today / Saw the face of God and love / Would you change? / Would you change?  She continues with other examples.  It’s a challenge.  Would we change?  And when would we make that change?

I’ve been feeling a little stuck over the past few months, yearning for a change.  The road I had been travelling on, had been fine but I got to the end of the road or a crossroads and staying in the same spot would lead to disappointment.  I needed something different – I was clear about that.  But would I change?  Would I be daring and bold enough?

Luckily for me, I’m in a position to change direction if I want to.  If I wanted to get up and up sticks, I just need to check in with the boss and thankfully the boss is ME!!!!! Phew!!

As a good netball player (good in the sense that I turned up for training and matches, not good in the sense of ability!! hahaha), I’m familiar with the word ‘pivot’ to change direction.  And with my flamboyant nature, I thought no pivot is complete without a pirouette!  You’ve got to dance through life – that’s my philosophy!! 🙂  And also what a great title for a poem!!  It’s a win-win situation over here!

When it’s time to make a move and you feel it in your gut and bones – Go for it!!! “Pivot and Pirouette!”

Love, Katty xxx

Pivot and Pirouette

 

When life gives you lemons

Make a gallon of lemonade

When your dreams are pie in the sky

And only the worse things cascade

When everything is going pear-shaped

Successful results are delayed

When the chips are down

All of a sudden you’re dismayed

I’m telling you – don’t fret

Pivot and Pirouette

 

When you’re not feeling like the brightest cookie

You miss out on winning accolades

You don’t even cut the mustard

You don’t make the grade

Every move you make, you’re in a pickle

Can you keep up this masquerade?

How will you get out of this jam?

Who will come to your aid?

I’m telling you – don’t sweat

Pivot and Pirouette

 

When you’ve got egg on your face

It’s publicly displayed

All you want to do is bring home the bacon

Be free to work and trade

But you’re left crying over spilt milk

Everything is a downgrade

You can’t help but go bananas

Bounce around and richochet

I’m telling you – don’t get upset

Pivot and Pirouette

 

I’m also telling you – have a baguette

Subliminally, this poem is just as much about food – lest you forget

When you’re ready to take off and jet-set

Pivot and Pirouette
