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

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!
