Just Beyond the Gate

Listen to poem:
Just Beyond The Gate David J Walker There is a road there is a cliff there is certain rendezvous just beyond where There is life There is death There is light lit By excised breath There is sleep Lying in wait Just beyond a Final dawn and unknow fate where There is the low laughter Of a river And pasture with green grass Just beyond the gate

I really enjoyed your poem. I particularly enjoyed listening to you read your poem. I was unsure about putting audio to my work, as I cringe at the sound of my voice. Listening to your poem has inspired me to try again!
