Found Before Dead Poem by Richard Wlodarski
Found Before Dead
No longer lost
In such damn dread
Life's golden thread
Found before dead
Whatever be the situation, optimism and faith in yourself will keep you in good stead- till the very end.
Richard, this indeed is mystical. I keep thinking about the Damoclean sword, and now you have its danger muted by the golden thread. There is so much between thread and fibre and precious things. Now I think of clouds and the silver linings. This goes to myfavourites.
I am greatly humbled, M.J. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement!

A couple of things come to mind with this one, Richard. To your mention of dread, from 1 John, Perfect love casts out all fear. And to Found before dead, from Jesus’ prayer in John 17, to know thee () is eternal life. Be blessed! -Glen
Glen, thank you so very much for the biblical references. This poem is part of the Kerouac series in which I'm tapping into his spirituality.
