THROUGH THE GATES

I have been past these gates before,

seen paradise's ugly face,

lived through discovery and disgrace.

But now the earth is giving back.

 

T'was duty that would call me then -

a welcome now, no call to arms,

and as I breathe the still, sweet air

will pass the gate to prospects fair.

Thank you both. A very welcome and encouraging response. It was a pensive piece, and I lived it out through the best of eyes.

Thanks too readers with ticks. Frances, Rachel, Jon, Sofia and Po.!

Love this Ray. Ultimately hopeful. A lovely message of a life lived and yet to live.
