Places

Yesterday . . .
was it way back then
or just before last night –
maybe, moments ago.
Too soon, too far, too late,
to tell –
pray for me, that I might survive
it’s wrath.

I almost missed this one, Jimmy, and it is very good. I glad it's not about you.

Jimmy,

I really like how you look beyond yourself when you write poetry.  This is good and I, too, am glad that it is not about you.

Heck if I know! We space cadets have no concept of time!

Seriously speaking, it is horrible to be in such a state of fear and discombobulation as is the person for whom this was written.

Here's a hug for each of you!

Jimmy...Enjoyed. Great write. Your poem finds me in about the same place as the person you write about. Another storm to survive. Thanks for sharing...Paul

This reminds me of the Beatles lyrics

"There are places I remember all my life"

I know I know, I'm always singing a song.

This was coming from all directions and I liked it,
I guess because life is like that sometimes.

Hugs, you~
