"my Closet's Open

Left with thoughts of yesterday...
Played in the rain and drifted away...
My closet is full of past mistakes...
Dust off this mind for a new awake...
Played a song from a past not forgiven...
Sipped my wine in a game not winning....
Live life to the end without a step not taken...
This heart beats with love, I'm not faking...
So breathe my breath , and swallow my soul....
My closet all open , let the skeletons roll....
We will all answer at the final bell , just have to
decide Heaven or Hell....

Good afternoon, Michael! How are you on this wonderful day. As for me i am here enjoying the soup. Also with thoughts of yesterday! How I wish my thought would drift after all that rain play. Instead I find my self hating that person who wants things to change all of a sudden. At times life is not easy when we don't have the answers, but you are right about one thing. At the end he decides heaven or hell. Enjoyed reading your poem,..p.d.
