Be Careful What You Wish For
The rug was pulled from beneath
What we thought were steady feet
Firmly planted on the ground
But we were wrong
Our habits crumbled round us
The rubble hid the path
We couldn’t see where we were treading
We had to stop
But be careful what you wish for
The saying goes
You might find you don’t want it
When it comes
Craving patterns of a life
That told us who we were
That placed us quite securely
Isolated
On our thrones
But be careful what you wish for
The saying goes
You might find you don’t need it
When it comes
(Lyric by Elena Thomas April 2020)
