The night's sky with its twinkling stars,
I've slept under, felt like a Czar.
I propped my feet on the full moon,
It reminded me of cartoons.

The all clear bell has pealed for me,
When I nearly drowned in a dead sea.
Laid awake at night in the dark,
And thought everyone was a narc.

I've been on my knees; primal thoughts,
I was wound so tight; I was taut.
Walked through hell, gave it the finger,
Old Father Death was my chauffer.

Spoke to God, He did not speak back,
I can't blame Him, I was on smack.
The blood of the lamb I've seen drain,
In the sizzling Wyoming plains.

I've done all that and I'm still here,
I should be resting on my bier.
I'll wait until I get a clue.
There's something I know I must do.

Methinks I may have overstayed my welcome / I had fun while it lasted

Oh the things that one can do in open air!

You have been living a very adventurous life, I would say, dear Jerry.

Now after tasting hell may there be an anticipation of paradise to make you enjoy the moment you are living now. Your mission down here is not yet finished. God knows and is always in touch, even if you don't hear Him speak.

The dark reaper is a little bit frightening. I'd rather imagine a white Angel that takes my hands and guides me to the other side ...

Very good work, dear Jerry, in all its melancholy.

Love,
M

Yes, Margherita, I have walked a few roads. I am searching these days, trying to make sense out of what happens next. Thank you.

Sounds like someone on drugs having a bad trip. My favorite line - "Walked through hell, gave it the finger"
Well done!

Spooky poem, but some are, and should be read..life is not always a dish of ice cream, sometimes there is blood on it instead of hot fudge.

Good write JP

Appreciate it ice. Yep. Not everything comes up roses constantly, and in some cases, never.
