What if I was
told that I had
three days to live
Unresolved destiny
so much energy
but so little time
Would I heal my soul
in those 72 hours
and change what must be change
to leave behind a better me
Or would I keep the same
profile and just wait to die
impatiently
But maybe every hour would have a purpose
every minute an embrace
Only memories
remain in the memories of
those that I show love
Because love is not to be told
but to be shown
and I'll make sure everyone knows how much
I love them
It should not be about me
but about that which remains
after me
The flesh dissolves
with all its sins
forever
but the rest remains
in the soul
in the spirit
in others

(sigh) Wow, this is an incredibly provoking piece, sweet friend, I too wish we could always love unconditionally and as though there was no tomorrow and find penitence for all the sins we labor and help cleanse it all from our hearts! (kiss on cheek) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walker, thank you for sharing!



May love and light alays shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
