The spiritual skating through life is the toughest.


Winning the Gold

I'm still not strong
but you know best
to teach me figures through the test
If I but fix my eye on you
You'll show me what I have to do
Each heavy wind
that chides and chills
the wildest tempest gale
that kills
tornado twirls
its path unfurls

I am quite safe - I'm told.

You keep me firm
my heart at peace
to listen, follow you with ease
I'm learning, Lord, to stand and skate
with grace the figure number eight
I never mastered
as a child
the lowest death spiral
so wild
As you applaud
I hear you, God:

"Now you have won the gold!"

like the skating metaphor here... very nice :) the number 8 figure really made me think of being stuck in a cycle of some sort... just neverending... interesting thoughts this springs in mind for me... :) *hugs* xx
