I’m centered and I tend to spin But when I do, you can’t come in I’m still, but everyday does stir So what I see is just a blur My axis it is still and set But what goes round I can’t forget And though I try to stop and learn I spin too fast to have a turn I’m centered and such sights I see When calm and still and want to be But then the hand of day does spin And once again I’m caving in My axis was the start of me My place of rest, where I was free But then the world began to grow And spin so fast, I didn’t know I’ve tried to slow and find the brake But find that all the moves I make Progress the spin a little more So even I can’t find the door And that is life, the way I live The things that fate and time do give Spinning in this dizzy blur Not calm and free as I’d prefer |

I have felt that spin turn into an almost frenzy lately. This is so true for me too - and I thank you, Rick, for sharing a poem that applies to me -- and I am sure, many others. Alison |

Hi Dixie, nice to get your reply, how are you going, well I hope and finding a little love here and there, something we all wish for, trying to come for visit more often but muse has holidayed for a while, just awaiting its return. Have a great day, enjoying all your surrondings, nice to see you here, thanks. Rick |
