Winds of Changes I am wading in the pools of fate That whirl in constant motion I am pulled and tossed by undertows In tides of life’s emotion I am drifting in the currents I am blown by winds of changes I am wilted from the heartache That condition rearranges In the up and down of ripples In the ocean’s rise and ebbing Into forces of deception I am caught in tangled webbing On a path of prickling briars In a quicksand of sensation In the heat of burning fires In the well of condemnation I am treading on a tightrope On a thread of my believing And I’m steady as a silkworm In the midst of splendid weaving I am held up by an angel Who is hovering above me I am wrapped in warmth and comfort Of the ones who truly love me And I cannot fall to moontides Or immerse in wells of sorrow For the web that I have woven Is a haven for tomorrow And tomorrow is the essence Of a joy I wish to borrow Elizabeth Santos |

And I’m steady as a silkworm In the midst of splendid weaving ~ For the web that I have woven Is a haven for tomorrow Just fantastic imagery here Elizabeth. Although this seemed dark to me in the beginning I felt it much lighter towards the end, and managed a smile! ![]() ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |
