Nothing you do can be hidden
Away from prying eyes
Even in the deepest of shadow
Someone watches you evolve
And if you're truthful to yourself
You will know
Everything you hold so dear
Is in a constant state of flux
Something always reminds us
In the darkest place where our dreams
Come crashing forth to annoint us
With their purposeful plans
Even when we are falling we'll know
That even love can burn slowly
As we continue to evolve
And then you will see
Everything that seems so still
Is in constant motion and flux
So let your love prove you right
Embrace all you can see
Let it flow like the autumn tides
As it ebbs and rises with you
Nothing you do can be hidden
Away from prying eyes
Even in the deepest of shadow
Someone watches you evolve
And if you're truthful to yourself
You will know
Everything you hold so dear
Is in a constant state of flux
Because as we are constantly shown
Love is a reaction when tempered like steel
And what it says to all and sundry
Is if you are willing to change
There is hope for us all
And you will finally know
Everything you hold so dear
Is in this state of flux...

"Is if you willing to change
There is hope for us all"
I think you meant if you are willing. It seems a word is missing here. I did not notice on first read.
You have hit the state of flux so well within this write. I love the repetition of the fist stanza as it really drive the point home.
Thank you for a splendid entry. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

S2 L9 "Everything that's seems static" I think there is a typo in that's and should be that.
No worries. Plenty of time to tweak this beauty. I will be back with a comment on this piece later.
