Turn Around

To many adulations 
Ecstatic feeling of overjoy
Joy unbetold 
The dancing
The intermittent sigh of relief.
The bringer of good tidings
Is at it again.

He works magic for the indigent,
No man was born less fortunate
But some were born luckier.

When conditions start changing
When misery has ceased
The fluctuations of resource
ebbed,
A turnaround is here with us.
When life gets tastier
And sorrow grows wearier.

My joy knows no bounds
My ululation
Unfathomable
The fastidious stamping of feet
The unrehearsed dance.
Come,
Join me and dance
For I have arrived.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
