For a second, I thought that you were writing about me, lol. Honestly, this is very good and something that makes me 'feel'. Keep penning my friend.

Dear Peter,

The fragility of balance and temptation;
"A gossamer thread betwixt good and bad"

Wonderful write.

This Peter is powerful and so poetic.

"No view behind , no future glimpsed
All has vanished into the caverns of time
My rock , my bridge has dissembled
And thrown my ramparts down ."
Good to read you again

Bravo Peter, I don't believe I have read a better description
of being torn between good and evil, than this poem!
What you have written , should make us all aware that
the disaster, is the next step down, absence from God,
and that is intolerable!
