the world and life
has my head whirling
trying to find balance
in this topsy-turvy time
when your eyes cannot
decipher truth from lies
you find your hands
grasping for something
solid and calm
I watch autumn sun wane
as we fall into darkness

DeleteIt seems quite a few of us haver arrived at such ponderings. Yours is very beautifully expressed – and if it falls on the side of despair, so do they all really, I think, even those which are basically saying, 'Let's console ourselves with what little we can.'
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosemary.
