Then, Now and Always...

Standing between the Gates of Heaven and Hell;
just an arm's length away from each other
facing each other, parallel
So close you can smell the brimstone,
hear the screams and wails
as angels sing, bells ring
and cherubim clap in wonder
On the razor's edge we live
with feet hanging over the ledge we breathe
and take the deeper pull of the rarified air
For some hearts there is no in between
loving the danger, living extremes,
for who wants to get caught in the seam
trapped between dying and living?

Whatever you have, keep giving
Make someone smile, be forgivng
Walk that extra mile, don't stop living
for the alternative is truly not thrilling
Live for yourself and not others
think for yourself, trust your mothers
Live this life for there may not be another
waiting with your pie in the sky
Love whom you can and will...
What else is there?
Show how much you love,
let the world know you care
When two souls meet again
nothing compares
to the smile of recognition...
