For Kenny Penn's Haikuplet challenge. There's still time to join in the fun! Read about the requirements here.

Change. Our relationships with it are fraught with a mix of frenzy, worry, anticipation, and delight. 

Our reactions to it may differ, but there's one thing that's constant—it's our only constant. Like it or not, life is transient. 

Embrace change, like the swallow, knowing that, despite it all, we can control our responses to it. We also have to adapt to the constant shifts in this world. 

Enjoy this Haikuplet. 

Tiny blue swallow

Feathered wings scale changing skies

Tips touch shifting clouds

Blue feathers grasp clouds

Swaying gently as wind blows

Embrace horizons.
