When Your Ship Comes In

When you are hell-bent
    to fold your tents
  That's when your ship comes in
    heaven-sent

  They say things are darkest
    before the dawn breaks
  worse than rhyming cliches
    for goodness' sakes

So many things come around and around and back, life is cyclical.

With tents folded, start over another journey and the ship is ready. After a halt, we set out to new destinations ! Much suggested in few lines.... dear Gershon
