there is a fine line between life and death and knowing is questionable.
Twist In Time As I stand here in front of my closet , starring in to space...
I wonder which black dress to choose, and how I am going to face..
All the guests that will be there, at your final resting place...
I look in the mirror and what do I see ?
But cuts and scratches all over me...
Although I don’t feel any physical pain...
Oh, what’s that I hear?... could it be rain ?
I miss you already...just what went wrong ?..
We were driving along just listening to our favorite song...
I remember the curve on that old mountain road...
And then heard the train crash... and then explode...
Time to go called out my Mother...
It was a cold November morning, and very heavy rain...
And I swear I heard the whistle of a train...
As I looked around I could see...
So many friends and family...
Standing in the crowd Aunt Sarah and Uncle Fred...
OMG ! I thought they were dead...
And there’s dear old Michael...
I had heard he died when he crashed his motorcycle...
Suddenly I saw YOU stand...
A bright red rose, you held in your hand...
What are you doing I wanted to shout...
But then I realized what you were about...
You dropped the rose upon MY grave...
It was then I realized... You were the one, that was saved...

wow. did not expect the ending, very Stephen King. enjoyed
Quite a tantalizing tale, kj. It had me reading the lines fast to get to the end, and then WHAM! A very good ending. Then I reread it very slowly, savoring your thoughts turned into words. My kind of poem.
The second book of the trilogy, The Chronicles of Henry Roach-Dairier, this volume will be enjoyed by astute 10 or 11 year olds as well as adults. A reader does not have to read To Build a Tunnel First to understand this volume.

with twists and turns of fate,
and a touching end,
that was simply great.
