Late last year, some things were happening globally and personally that reminded me how quickly life can change. I wrote the following.

Turns

Life can take a full turn
in an instant.
Fortunes change 360 degrees
with dizzying speed.
Success to failure.
Wealth to destitution.
Glory to gutter.
Life to death.
The change takes place so quickly
that all you are left with is whiplash.
