"storm cycle; part of the process" jason alan, acrylics on canvas 8x10 2026

chart a course for

i am the change in the wind

a decision not made on a whim

victory and success are coming in

and the higher i sore

the smaller i will seem

to those who can't fly

and the charm of the past is grounded

in knowing what has happened

but you know where magic lives

shooting with the stars

and what it takes to use it

you can choose the discomfort

of regret or discipline

both will hurt

while only one will be to your benefit

see an imperfect vision of paradise

but don't be fooled

joy is never out of reach

even if you sell it to the devil

consider what you purchase

in the years, the days, and the minutes

you can donate

or you buy the future back

with how you choose to live
