Circumstance

How fair is she, this lady, to see in bright youthfulness regaled. Impatient too, in tasting the brew of love's sweet nectar unassailed. Yet, unfolding strife in everyday life brings betrayal to dis-appoint. Turns her dream into a shabby thing - a drama in eerie dis-joint. Straight and strong the man has grown, industrious, fast and free. He stands at the helm, to conquer his realm - to triumph in his destiny. Then, breaks the dawn and a muffled moan, contention and trouble in tow. He never foresaw comic fate's fall - the specter of failure to show. We scheme and plan, but not of our hand lay life's future deciding power, to hold in line circumstance and time - as God does in the appointed hour. ************* Daniel 4:35 "He (God) doeth his will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth and none can stay his hand....."
