I heard a growl from heaven
And a shiver ran through me
And a shiver ran through me
Perhaps it was near my time
It was a hell of a time to go
Much too late to make amends
Too soon to heal all wounds
The root of my problem was why?
Should I plan to pack my bags
Or would I burst onto the scene
And joins the motley rows
Slowly pushing forward
And being directed
To those escalators
Either up or down
Or do I still have a choice?
I hope you still have a choice! Well wordled.
ReplyDeleteThere's always the bit in the middle to hope over..or just sit in the station..middle ground gets written off..but it's an important decision..no harm in waiting..having a slice of fruitcake and a cup of tea whilst everybody jumbles and jars..
ReplyDeleteYes, we always have a choice.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured a common fear.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to remember that those moments of indecision are only moments. They seem like forever and perhaps we should learn how to sit back and relax within them and try to remember that life goes on no matter what we might decide.

Now, now! None of that.
ReplyDeleteSure, you decide, only you!
ReplyDeleteStubborn choices. You can't fully understand them until you've made them final.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we are free to choose. Nicely done! I'm pretty sure which way that escalator is headed in your case.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this, you do have a choice. Tell God off (trust me, he can take) and you'll be back in your warm bed in no time.
ReplyDeleteIf you think you have a choice, you do.
ReplyDeleteThe choice is yours. I'm sure you will make the right one. Love this!
ReplyDeleteThere is still a choice. It'll work itself and will lengthen the stay! Nicely old egg!

Great piece... full of anticipation. I like the image of a growl from Heaven. Is there an angry God in this poem? I suppose if there is a choice between up and down... there must be. I like to imagine that heaven is a place on earth...Nice one.
ReplyDeleteI believe we always have a choice, Old Egg. Well wordled.
ReplyDeletePamela
I'm not much of a believer in the up or down but I believe very firmly that we all still have a choice in how we live our lives
ReplyDeleteInteresting.
