The Scales Have Toppled

For the red-eyed wanderer who cant get to sleep,

For the grazed and weary, for whom the slip was painful and deep.

To the first one above, why do you expect so much that the fall would be certain?

Why did you not value what you had? or be grateful in life before the call of the curtain?

To the latter one in the first, why do you feel that your fortunes are so cursed?

Didn't you take care in the latitude that awaited? now is the pain worth the thirst?

The scales have toppled, and the tables have turned,

Expectation could be dangerous, and the reality may have burned.

It was down to you then, and its down to you now,

Will you keep wiping your eyes and keep asking yourself: how?

Or will you awaken, recover, learn, prosper and grow?

I am with you if you choose this, and I hope this is so..

The scales may have toppled; yes, most cruelly, and in devastating ways,

Maybe you are finding your way, in lifes most confusing and testing maze.
