The Great Reversal

Gravity snowed your shoulders cold, bent your burdened frame, watched while troubles multiplied, whispered words of shame; Ascension climbed on trouble’s back, chose the way of love – soared above the blizzard where forgiveness reigns above.

Gravity snowed your shoulders cold,

bent your burdened frame,

watched while troubles multiplied,

whispered words of shame;

Ascension climbed on trouble’s back,

chose the way of love –

soared above the blizzard where

forgiveness reigns above.

    A fitting tribute to Mandela. Was it him you had in mind when you wrote this? Such beautiful words Melody.

      I actually DID think of him – the ad for his new movie coming up was playing as I wrote. I think it has a lot of other possibilities, too – but that theme of forgiveness was pretty strong. Thanks!

    WOW, Melody … these are amazing words! Tried to pick my favorite line … but ALL of it awesome~

      hehe Now THAT is truly a great goal to set – to make every line an equal favourite! Imagine….

      Good! He certainly has set a good example of overcoming trials through forgiveness – that is a great reversal in my books!
