PROMISE
If you should go before I do,
wait for me, I will soon be
with you … my soul could not endure
the pain , and I will pray my heart
to cease its pointless beating
I will follow the foot steps
you leave behind until I hear
you call my name ; then we will be
together again,

awesome!
haunted and poignant
was on the trails this eve
near dusk
a most exciting time
Bears...wolves..coyotes
creepy people at that time
of night....
but we didnt see a soul
I could sense things up
there...
I do not think we are alone
though we feel it at times
Friend of mine has purchased
their plot and got a tour of
the crematorium
They are happy everything is
settled..they have Parkinsons
I would want for a trail to be
ongoing
knowing that I am not the first
nor shall be the last
Thank U Joe for your writing!
Mr Esker!

There is a comfort here, even
There is a comfort here, even though the subject is painful and sad.

A promise that...
I would willing make. Nice, it made me want an after-life. ~ Gee.
There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
