Behind A Late Sky
I've cut through life with grand experience. Now I'm old and standing on the precipice where a man finds what really matters. The dance of life gradually slows down, with nothing but a pocketful of memories. Facing that last hurrah and the joys and sorrows that make life all the more lived. ...

Premium Member Before It’s Too Late
Be careful with kindness, don’t give it away.. Too much of it leads the heart astray. It’s not always ego when drawing a line.. Sometimes it’s courage.. a much healthier sign.

Alive, Alive Oh!
The best thing about waking up is not the coffee in our cup warming the cockles I'd impart from the bottom of our heart it's knowing we survived to see another day arrived no matter what may come our way as being late when we're done and gone is far too harsh to contemplate so smell the flavour savour the roast and of our time here on earth before...

Lies I never told, but never clarified
They with masks and scalpels rewatch the seconds I was given without consent. My breath hitches as warnings stillborn in my throat. At this moment, I am but a body opened for overdue answers no one asked for. A poet’s gift lies in the voice of Truth.

It Was To Late Unless Otherwise
Warnings came over and over and over again To repent and come from all sins It was ignored, until it was too late The passing and non-repentance in the grave Unknown, only Jesus above If they repented on their last days at all Jesus is the judge in this world No Silver, Gold or even a Pearl Can save you. You're being told Be...
