Till The Release Of Time
I will
I will tread the challenge of the day
Till the release of time
I will cling to every passing rhymes
Till the release of time
I will hold true to promises made
Till the release of time
I will bring shelter, sun, wind and shade
Till the release of time
I will help my fellow man
Till the release of time
I will help another stand
Till the release of time
I will hold fast on shifting sands
Till the release of time
I will be a helping hand
Till the release of time
I will wear my heart on my sleeve
Till the release of time
I will give a piece of me
Till the release of time
And when the time comes I can no longer - will
And I don't have the strength, another to fill
When the end of my life has begun to draw near
When the reasons to stand, are no longer clear
Then - I hope that I gave what was required of me
And the ones that I helped are flourishing and free
I will wait for the day when together we'll be
At the edge of the release of time.

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

Brilliant & beautiful!!!💖💖💕
How beautiful, Kelli!
A stirring anthem for a life of courage and compassion. Appreciate your spirit, Kelli!
This is a wonderful creed by which to guide & live your life. As I was reading it, I found myself wondering, And whenever you or I should fail at this, will we be able to forgive Till the release of time? That's the part with which I struggle, not forgiving you, but forgiving myself. I beat myself up pretty badly & a whole lot. I try to accept that there are mistakes I cannot unmake, but each time I mess up I feel as though I've let everyone down again. I pray you are more kind & gentle with yourself. This is a beautiful creed, aspiration & poem. I look forward to meeting you, "at the edge of the release of time."
I will like this till the release of time
Another beautiful piece. Well done.
