Tumbling Down

As you ride the rough waves of life, you are in constant motion and there is no time to exhale and feel calm.

Snug and secure in your little nest,
Taking some time to exhale and rest.
Then off in the distance comes a thundering sound,
Then there is some quaking and shaking, as your world tumbles down.
Dazed and confused, you start to shudder,
As you sit amid the chaos, ashes and clutter.
How did this happen?, you are just stunned,
You know now that there is no place safe for you to run.
Will you rise from the ashes?, Do you even want to try?
It would be much easier, to just lay down and die.
You close your eyes and just sigh,
You grieve for what was and sadly tell it good-bye.
You say a prayer for strength, to carry on,
The road ahead is rough and long.
It is still ringing in your ears, that awful sound,
The sound of your world as it tumbled down.

Music: Andie

Sissy, every time I lie down and close my eyes to die, Darned if I don't wake up to birds singing and sunshine. So shall it be with you. I decree it....lol

S.C.,

The phoenix shall rise again my friend. Nothing can keep it down. Sad but so well written. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

I made a promise to myself years ago to
never, never, ever, give up.
Take my hand or someone's hand and keep
lo0king high into the stars.
Then look at each other preparing for a big two hour positive kiss..
Love ya SC

My world has tumbled down so many times I lost count. Keep my sights and goals straight ahead and have learned to always move in a forward direction. Ever telll you about the time when I and my 6 1/2 year old rolled into California on a greyhound bus with $150.00 in my pocket? There are lots of stories, but because I always look forward these and many others are behind me. Trust in God, he will always guide you....

Be safe,
Karen

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
