About This Poem

Karma


Watching the leaves fall
From a quiet room alone
I want for nothing
In my reflection is peace
An inner soul holds my hand

    great poetry Dave ole mate, the inner soul protects your fate, something holds my wrist, when i try, heal remote cancer, and i cry, when death wins the debate, the karmic touchstone gate, release by death, comes late... but we try :( Don re :"Karma" David Williams...
