Race With the Light

abstract images fracture her brain shards of a life review kaleidoscope dodge the pain they carry concentrate on present memories weave waves relentlessly raging “against the dying of the light” ends in time today, race with the light overpowering faith pulsates stimulates energy pours through veins her final resolve welcome every shining day *Entry for Brian's 1-14 Max contest

It's a hit AGAIN!! Love the theme of living for today...the present...not looking back like Lot's wife...not worrying about tomorrow or what we will wear...I love how the Lord has it all in His hand. Love, Gwendolen
