Alone By Paul Wilson Tried my best to make a difference All my life through hard times and good Rode the raging rapids of life Like a useless piece of driftwood Life full of pipe dreams and failures Spent my life trying to fit in Went toe to toe with the very best Failed again much to my chagrin Spent most my days singing the blues No one ever listens to my song Playing the game of life each day Reaper coming... been here to long Nothing seems to matter to me Rapids getting rougher to run No way to know where I’ll wind up Beginning of end has begun Flames of soul reduced to embers From Heaven… white horse does descend Coming for my spirit tonight Together in death we ascend Time means nothing to me you see Just another way to mark years Of loneliness spent without you My time has come I’ll dry my tears Dark of night quickly approaches As lightning lights up the night sky Alone with just my memories I think I’ll just lay here and die Alone Copy Righted 3/14/2021 ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Felt this. It cut to the bone. Waiting together, waiting alone, my friend. |

Michael...I thought the title might catch your attention. Was inspired by the ending of a western movie I watched Saturday. Thanks for understanding. I hope you are doing well my friend...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

You guys are killing me! Talk about morbidity of mindset! Well, written, but... let's eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die! |
