Writings On The Wall: A Volume of Poems

Writings On The Wall is a series of poems begun when my father was getting weaker as the aging process continued to decrease his abilities. I was with him when he went to the ER and then into ICU. When I was sitting with him talking with him, he would often point to the corner in the room and say who is writing on the wall. I would ask him who is writing? What are they writing? He would look at me and just nod his head in a knowing manner. This series of poems was written in a very short time as I wanted to finish it for him before he left this world. I did not accomplish that. But I share them with others who have seen what he saw and have been to the wall or beyond. Take a moment and remember those writings which you saw and read. May they be your spiritual guide as you live your life.
