Plea of last breath

Lord hear
me crying
to the soul that
will free me

Lord pick
the path way
that my
spirit will
free

Hear
the message
of the
damned
and the free

Time it cast
no
shadow
long
I wait
on thee

See willow
as the
falling branch
of the
tree

No pardon
for the sin
do I seek

Just a
cool drop
of water
given
before
I sleep

Strong the mark
long the rest
Peace is
my last
request

Father hear
my calling
please
rescue me

From the
flames eternal
set my
soul free

Cross right
and left
one
is for
me

In the dawn
set my
spirit
free

You found another voice to write this one, Walter. Deathbed is the telling time for us all, and we see who we really are, probably for the first time in our lives. Gripping piece of literary poetry.

Weekends In New England by Linda Alexander

Love, romance, innocence, intrigue, danger, and lust. Life is complicated, and love even more so. Life, and love, can be hazardous to a lady's health. Especially if she's fallen in love with a married pop star.
