Title sugestions welcome

My beloved Fortuna please turn your wheel!
I am so devoted to you. My pride
Is but a lowely little sin compared
To the carressing progression you deal.
I see and know it as definitely shared.
I fear; from whom does the other hide?
Finally, to what is each compared?
For I cannot see the top of your wheel.
O God! It has fallen on its side!

(Fortuna is a Greek mythological charcter that had the original "wheel of fortune." People with good fortune would be at the topand people with bad fortune at the bottom ... but its a wheel so it turns all the time-- you get the picutre.)

*Random suggestions from myself: Waiting, No Longer Fortunate, A Change of Fortune, Falling, The Wheel, One's Fortune, Hopeful, Waiting, A Life That Is Fortunate, Tomorrow's Turn, Take Another Look, Fallen Below, Down, Across The Turn, To The Top, Spinning Around, In Motion, Circles Are Turning, I'm Going Around, Life Is Going Around, Life's Turn, My Life, or just Fortuna ( not very original, but always an obvious option).;) I actually remember reading something about this. I would probably call this poem The Spinning Wheel, but it's really your choice, IrishCanadian. BTW, I always enjoy reading your poems. Good luck with your work!:)

Wow thank you soo much. Its really reasuring to know that it was actually read. I think I might call it "Addressed to Fortuna" (inspired my your obvious idea of "Fortuna")
Thanks
