Late Heart……. As I rush through torrential downpour ,as it pounded mercilessly on the pavement…. Gushing down and away …..the rain cradled my hope…. I had but one thought…..I wish, I pray , am not too late.….. Run, with all my might….with all my being ….. through the maze of byways…. Seemingly millions, neverending, illimitable at that instant… Almost, my passage impossible… I had but one thought….i wish, I plead to God, am not too late…. Fly, I imagined my own wings…to take me to the heights….surpassing earth… Through the swell of clouds, soaring high above…. My journey, closer, perceptibly imminent, almost at the end… I had but one thought.. I wish, I implore to Thee, am not too late... Yearn, as I have never ….. Ache, an agony inconceivable, a hurt so profound…. Sorrow for all of my soul’s eternity…. All these I shall bear, should this heart be too late….. It shall be….. Should I come to the end of my wander and find you gone… Danielle McHenry Paradise lost , never regained………………. Worst possible Hell…………………..
Reason for writing:
Things and people we take for granted in our lives...once gone...is the only time we realize their importance. Such is the human frailty in all of us....always a little too soon or always a little too late. I suppose we all need the lesson learned in losing someone or something....
