As the World Turns
by dinahmic

As the world turns
Life's changes seem arduous to embrace
When it ensnares me unprepared
And acquiescence is all I could muster

As the world is turning
A dreadful emotion of solitude overcomes me
As I gaze at the lines and ridges of my countenance
Wondering if the hands of time turned hastily on me

As the world takes another turn
A revived hope flourished in me
Optimism blossomed as I welcome
what life bestows upon me

Beauty of an innocent soul is perceived
Fortitude sprouting from pain is borne
Tolerance from injustices is acquired
Wisdom from failures is reaped

A tinge of light in darkness becomes apparent
Shades and hues of understanding become vivid
Love predominates in all of life's abstraction
And the world turns into a better place.

"Desire the delights of life because heaven might just deliver"~Dinah~
