The Blinding Eye of Desire

The Blinding Eye Of Desire




                              We begin at a breakneck speed and a 

                              hectic pace



                              Toward the finish line yearning to win

                              each pivotal race



                              Ambitions could prevail over adversity

                              beneath skies or beyond



                              Yet urging fate to hand the prize is like

                              mining gold from a grain of sand

Gershon Wolf Date: 2/12/2022 7:37:00 PM Interesting comparison there, Anselmo: 'Mining gold from a grain of sand.' Perhaps you've coined a new saying: 'Can't squeeze gold from sand!' ~ Quotes and Quips, Gershon Login to Reply Anselmo Boles Date: 2/13/2022 1:43:00 PM I like that! Let me see if I can copyright "Can't squeeze gold from sand". Lol. Thanks Gershon...ab

Sometimes one may feel so sure about what he/she wants and where to end up, but fate is the ultimate judge, regardless. Take care Lasaad!...ab
