The Wheel
Broken once
Boundaries shattered
Faith destroyed
Nothing mattered
Nothing to live for
Estranged from God
Hopeless and abandoned
Cast out, unloved
A lifeline offered
With a price tag
She took it all the same
It was all she had
And for a while
It served its purpose
Alleviating the loneliness
But it made her nervous
Off the beaten
Track was she
In uncharted waters
Albeit set free
Free to live
And love again
A lighter heart
Anaesthetising pain
But this road was perilous
And the further she went
Into the enchanted forest
Did she begin to repent
But the Wolf Moon then rose
‘Twas the witching hour
Suddenly she was possessed
Deprived of her willpower
She succumbed to the demon
All hell broke loose
And when dawn broke
The awful truth
She was caught in a vice
No seeming way out
Only back into that pit
She not so long had climbed out
Oh Lord, what to do?
Then she heard His voice
A small word in her ear
A whisper, a barely audible noise
A call to arms
Which she acted upon
Just one syllable
But like firing a gun
This shot in the dark
Was all she had
When all was at stake
And she was woefully sad
Gripped with fear
And frustration
In a maze
No sense of salvation
Suddenly hope was restored
And she grabbed it with both hands
Prayed for a solution
And He obliged with a plan
Thus the Wheel of Fortune
Turned in her favour
And she was reconnected
With her Saviour.
