Never too Late Waysides were ways of life New friends were casted-away Never too long in one place I owed a debt I could not pay. Taken to places where I forgot myself Nothing Places where winds moan your name If I answered their call, they would find me dice bones rattled in a Copperhead's game. I called - she said where have you been these last two years, I was afraid that you. . . Stammered apologies thin as mountain wind she felt my shame, my sorrow she knew. Before edges of seas meet in the middle before time is courted by tossed dirt We tried to relive, perhaps to rekindle gems of our times before they lost worth It's never too late, to tell one they're missed Never too late to beat in another's heart her spirit, disappointed, now again was kissed believing in vows we would never again part she said "True, it's never too late, to say that you're sorry If heartfelt with tears, they erase all the sadness Into my arms where you've always belonged Fills my life with fulfillment, wonder, and gladness!. . . . . .Son" |

Donna, it was a dream i had, over and over, perhaps spawned from guilt of not keeping in touch with others like I should. I was trying to convey the madness of 'guilt' and all that it means: forward and back in our lives. Thanks Sweet Spirit, for reading, and don't ask me what in the flying heck i am doing posting in the middle of the day! This is a first!! Jeff |

Jeff, I don't know what you're doing posting in the middle of the day either, but I'm sure glad you did. I love the feelings this poem of yours made me have....that it's never too late, if we truly feel sorry for our actions. And if we do, there is usually forgiveness found. Love makes the world go 'round (unkown) |
