And So It Goes

Rated "G" by the Author.

Oh sweet wisp of melody


Wrap your arms around me.


Tell me lies that keep me sane


As my world doth wax and wane.


 



And so it goes


Doesn’t it?


What I see, what I hear, what I feel…


Isn’t that how it goes?


Breath life, exhale death…


Or maybe it’s the other way around.


 



Strength comes from foiled fatal trials


Brutality pushed through miles


A youthful heart broke in two


What didn’t kill you, made you…


 



And so it goes


The origin of free will


Giving life, giving vigor


Allowing you to sculpt your fate,


Waiting for you to make a stand.


Breath your life and exhale your death.


And so it goes…

A very well written piece! It is thought provoking, haunting, yet I find a truthfulness to the words......"and so it goes"...yes, one must take time to ponder over these words for sure! Great work!

Smiles,
Dorothy
