What Awaits-Tet

Sleep
A Taste
In This Life
Of What Awaits
Streams of Consciousness Slowly Leaving Earth

Returning Whence We Came -- To Our Maker
Our Primal Source
Of Life and
Of Love
Death

Gershon, I noticed you wrote this for my contest but for some reason it never showed up as an entry. Just wanted to let you know if it had you would have shared 1st place with the others. Great write my friend. Perhaps you forgot to enter it in or you may have entered too late or PS just screwed up (lol) All the best...Charlie

Thanks for letting me know, Charlie. I must have forgotten to enter the poem in the contest, as you surmised. And without your comment, I wouldn't have remembered that! Senior moments increasing lately, for better or for (usually) worse. As I tell my wife, "I got old." (Can't think of any advantages in that, really). Blessings, Gershon

Perchance to sleep... Perhaps a totally different experience all together.

A spear-shaker (groan) of a comment, there, Kim. Seriously, I sure do appreciate your support. Best wishes, Gershon
