Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

  

Reliving My Youth

I oft find myself reliving my youth
    uncovering uncomfortable truths
  about all of my foibles and most of my sins
    O, Lord! What condition my poor soul is in... 

  Whether daydreams or nightmares 
    each one gives me a scare
  I'd played life so close to the vest 
    ~ What might have been if I'd headed west

Michael Tor January 31, 2023 at 8:49 PM Great point Gershon. When you sin in your dreams are you sinning? Thanks for sharing my friend... Gershon Wolf February 1, 2023 at 6:14 PM Another question: When you dream of your sins, are you dreaming?!
