Ferris Wheel

Heart 
desires 
seeks, 
even 
as we weep. 
Cyclic 
pain 
and joy, 
as ordained, 
does wax and wane, 
immersing 
us in 
fear, 
for we 
know not when,
Gods gifts 
are
taken 
back.

Great flow and I like the analogy of life to a ferris wheel. I do disagree about God taking back His gifts. I agree with Victor on that. But each one has his own beliefs. Congrats on your win in my contest, Unseeking Seeker! Blessings, Kim M

Life breath, Kim … is it not taken back? Inspirations … sometimes flow, at other times, blocked; it goes on, moment to moment, inhale into fullness, exhale to voidness. ~ thanks for hosting such a delightful contest, Kim and for the recognition!

God's greatest gift is to give and give. He does say we will suffer on this earth but our days are numbered and if we believe and serve our Lord, everything he has to give is ours. God bless!

Magnification of pain (as opposed to joy) by mind is suffering, hence optional.
