confronted with the truth I scurried in my ashes searching for reasons reasons I was spared light came slowly beckoning my soul "walk with me" He said "I'll tell you a story- I hope you have time your remaining life it will take to tell" listening each day wonders await me pictures seem fuzzy then slowly reveal His path filled with glory! and beckoning still

James, I really like your Free Verse. I write mine in a very similar style. I like free verse, writing, without set meter or syllable restrictions, freedom of thoughts, and you did it well.
