The wheel of fortune spins anti-clockwise and brings back again the times of before bestowed like a gift and donation in kind to hold and secure my feet to the ground. Earth shivers and shakes; how can it be me sensible, sane, with unsteady gait unsure, unsettled, separated, alone, not toeing the line of reality? I pray, perhaps - does anyone pray these days when life is wished far away? |

very interesting write Helen I liked that 'toeing the line of reality' bit, and the anti-clockwise reference to time. |

Hi Helen! Prayer, like poetry, takes many forms. This is a wonderful concept: to spin the great wheel in reverse. I flashed on H.G. Wells immediately LOVED IT! |

Oh my goodness! I have a poem in the rough that I had been working on and the first line of it is "The Wheel of Fortune spins..." I guess it's true what they say about great minds thinking alike!  Loved your poem Bunches, Honey! Warm hugs, Earth Angel |

Thank you all for taking the time to read and to comment. Yes, great minds do think alike and I think we may all be more than a little surprised if we really knew how connected we are to each other - known and unknown. I too believe we can't go forwards until we've gone backwards and maybe one day it will all be worth it. |

  Need I say more? Some women wait for something to change and nothing does, so they change themselves. -Audre Lorde [This message has been edited by timothysangel1973 (06-26-2003 12:25 PM).] |

I once wrote a whole series of conversations with a woman in a wicker chair on the front porch.  She said a lot! Thanks for reading. |
