there will be times
when all the words you said
all the acts you committed
will come crashing down around you
and at those times
in the dead of night
no one will be there
to save you
from your consequences
and in answer to your question
there will be no one
to forgive you
either
on this side of the world
Wow! Excellent, Len! Sounds like an ex-wife to set one’s heart fluttering!
Thanks, Ron. And she was that.
I am mesmerized by the words as they echo and ricochet against the backdrop of my mind. I have just witnessed a eulogy fitting of many a world leader. Definitely a work of art, twisting outward from a brutally broken trust. This typeset smears across the white page, drags itself into a clearing, and lays truth upon the wings of a white dove.
Thanks for this lovely comment. I appreciate it.
