Everyone Writes

Everyone writes
perhaps not with
pen and pad
but the soul is
a slate, sometimes
a lifetime indelible

I pray, when leaving
this world I am allowed
to take Whiteout and an
eraser: the Whiteout, for
my own ink-transgressions;
and the eraser, for an Atheist
surprised by the unexpected
rub....

Thank you, Joe; I did not think this one was Shakespeare, but was hoping for at least a comment. You made my day. Blessings my friend!
