Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Fragile Puzzles

Life weaves its way through destiny
 and the chips fall where they may
 Some bask in glory, others in sorrow
 Painting choices in blue and gray
 Bringing every emotion into play 

 We must weather whatever it brings
 Or we will be left out in the rain
 Or worse yet, a hurricane,
 Blowing troubles upon pain

 After the storms of life have blown
 We emerge with the scars it left
 Trying to put the pieces together
 On the fragile puzzle of its breath

 We take this journey in faith, as
 Life weaves its way through destiny
 And we hang on for the roller coaster ride, as
 *"The storms are raging on the rollin' sea, and on the highway of regret"*
