at death's door

by Charlie Morgan

a leak in the crack of time
allowed me to see the two roads;
either, of wear accounting for life's
trials and strangulations of self.

a Scrooge are we when that road is forced.

the one that Frost spoke of, or the snowy wood;
and the snow accepts our frigid rigidity;
our soul floating wistfully into ether;
as at death's door do we all wait.

Author's Note: ...hardly write notes, there is life after death, yet i left that perspective out because EVERYMAN lives, thinks daily and acts as if this is the show.
