So damn scared
On that ledge
Jagged rocks
Flared nostrils
Heart pumping
Like damn hell
Mind stopping
Praying to God
Knees shaking
Vibrating
Body dead
Mind frozen
God I'm scared
Can't damn move
Precipice
Road to hell
Can't die now
Way too young
I speak now
With One God
Make promise
Spread His Word
If He spares
My life now
Like before
Word of God
On my lips
In your heart
Nice to hear your story and that you are a man of your word. Yes, poetry is a good way to get the Message across. Same reason that I write Richard. Well written.
WOW! Richard, I was actually in a similar many years ago and I deeply prayed to God, TO spare my life and as long as i live I will never say or do one more bad thing to ever hurt one's feelings on this precious earth we live on. I have kept my promise to this day. The power of spiritual poetry can be a REAL spiritual and code to live by. BRAVO, to you Richard for sharing this fantastic poem to many poets and people on this beautiful planet earth we live and thrive on.
It makes me happy that you have kept your word to God. I look forward to reading some of your spiritual poetry. Eva Mae, thank you for your positive response.

What a poignant and wonderful story. Indeed, an evidence of God's miracles. If we ask and pray ardently to God, He will grant our request. He is a.generous God. Happy to know, Richard that you fulfilled your promise to Him and still continuing this noble endeavor, an affirmation of your deep faith. Beautifully written.
