Like Smoke Through a Keyhole



Like Smoke Through a Keyhole


Live each day as though it might
be your last.
Savor each drink in lifes repast.

As our lives pass so quickly,
like smoke through a keyhole.
Love your God and all people.

Leave bitterness outside your
heart and gate.
What awaits you, is a shining fate.

You my friend, gift such magnificent poetry-- words that are on point, deep, profound and an inspiration. Closing reminds us that bitterness fosters agony and heartache-- yet forgiveness entices Light to show us a happier, far better path to take! A fav-- a jewel that please eye, heart, mind , soul and sincere poetic appreciation!

Robert~ so appreciative of your Comments. That forgiveness section is the hardest. Letting go of those who harmed us or plan to, frees us to forge ahead. Let God take care of them. I have yet to see that fail.))) Panagiota xxz

'Savor each drink in life's repast' and the title line, … 'like smoke through a keyhole:' Wow. Great lines; great imagery, Panagiota. Two thumbs way up for this one. Warmest wishes, Gershon
