Wheel of Fortune

desire, destiny, future, games, journey, life, men, ©Wheels of Fortune Monumental acts are traumatized to stillness Breathe intakes become gasps of disbelief Speech cripples to a moment’s pondering Whether to bring upon laughter, guilt or tears When ‘understanding’ becomes a path Time records a lifetime of questioning To what progresses in maturing men’s minds deliver And of how many stretches ‘lie’ to those testaments! We are ready and only human when ‘termed’ to task-find When that mighty hand-spin directs and advises the player This adventure ‘life-saga’ of choice to fortune begins Only stops at why, where , when and what holds for us There is in one’s future’s fate for one turn at the wheel One can wait, step forward, step back from a chance It is all a game this wheel of fortune!
