Excellent

A darkly honest poem about the approaching end and how quickly we sometimes hurtle towards it. It is a shame that we sometimes cannot slow down.

Great job.

Join the club. Now, I like the Angel of Death concept of "Touched by an Angel". He comes for you in loving kindness.

Thank You My Friend,

What a reality check! Guess I'll be slowing down also; although I've already slowed down too much. Well written with an important message. Good job. Patti :)

Very well done my friend.
And so very true...so unfortunately true.
Not even the wise always know how to identify him.

Good writing.

Hi
Well written, and a nice presentation.

I understood the last line when I read in your profile about your slowing down...

This is thought provoking.

Nice work.

Thanks

You sure put a scare in me. I'm one of the hurried ones. Everything seems too slow to me. All but time. I don't like to think of that apparition. I'd rather see Jesus in all his glory waiting for me. But the poem is excellent. Very well written. Scary but excellent.

This reaper and seemed to have a personal relationship that has come about 4 times in the last 5 years. As you can see, I've beaten him all 4 times.

Great piece of writing as your words flow so well and the artwork really get this poem in motion. Congrats.......................regards,,,,,jim
