THE MOMENT Part 3 Almost at once The Moment arrived but was not as I’d pictured or for what I had strived. Its face was mine altered – by time and strange place and it was then that I knew how my life would unlace: "I wanted to spare you wrong place and wrong time so what you had wished for continued sublime. You might never have known now this fear or stark dread if you’d let me pass by and not clasped me instead."

It does make one wonder just how much control we have, if any, over our own destinies. Nice write! M.True

"Its face was mine altered –

by time and strange place"

It just does not get any better than this. We can run, but we can't . . . you know . . . hide. We can have our fantasies, but reality has a nasty habit of hitting us in the face. There are times when we should dream, but our dreams should never be a substitute of life.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
