Vertigo Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

Vertigo



When the world spins much too fast
It is time to close your eyes
Letting darkness gently pour
Daily cares by heaven's door

When the world spins much too fast
And your balance is at risk
Words of wisdom rise at will
Easy does it, peace, be still

When the world spins much too fast
And your striving is on hold
Lie upon the bed and pray
Savoring your life today

When the world spins much too fast
You may hear a little voice
Calling from a distant past
Silver songs of hope at last

When the world spins much too fast
And your feet refuse to move
Drop down to the humble floor
Kneel in humble prayer once more

When the world spins much too fast
It is time to close the eyes
Letting darkness gently pour
Daily cares by heaven's door.

I like the way each verse begins with the initial thought. Very good. Read mine - O Night - Adeline
