Foundation of Sand

As life slips through fingertips
I struggle to stabilize
On this foundation of sand

Confusion paralyzing
With each step forward
I sink lower into nowhere

Deaf to my inner voice
Blame belongs to me
for this predicament

With eyes closed I center myself
Patience finds it place in peace
And time will be my compass

  1. Gorgeous write! It does feel like that doesn’t it? At times when we feel completely lost and are unable to comprehend exactly how, where and when things will fall into place.

    Indeed, time will be our compass ❤️❤️
