    Upon My Death…

    Upon my death…   I will ascend one foot to heaven and stubbornly descend one to Hell. I care not what God has to say! I care what death will mean for my life’s work, not my soul.   Upon my death…   I will be...

    • hello dearest Daniel this is really good…darkness and light I’m afraid are one… in the lowest depths of hell God is there also not as religion preaches but there none the less 💕

      • Love your comments, Brenda. Darkness and light coexist, indeed. Religion is so fun to play with creatively! Thank you!

    • Heavy fucking write, Daniel. Very powerful my friend. Appreciate you.

      • Thanks as always, Damian! Heavy fucking write and powerful, indeed! I was once told by a wise man, also a writer, who said to me, “Whatever it is you write down, make it goddamn prophetic!” I’ve always kept that in mind over the years and the more I remember it, the better my writing becomes. True story…

    • Elke….so glad you found the strength and words for this remarkable piece.
      🙏

    • I love your wording. Well done!

    • Each our own battles distract from another’s. Thank you for sharing yours to deflate the the imagined importance of mine. 🌼

      • Thank you so much for reading and sharing your opinion in your kind comment, Joe!
        In the beginning I put much effort in hiding my disease and pretending that nothing was wrong. I felt so ashamed! Meanwhile I know that there is nothing shameful about disability and dependency. As you say, everyone has to carry their backpack containing good and bad things with the purpose to teach us a lesson

    • Powerfully penned, Elke. Your imagery is precise, amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Thank you so much for reading and commenting! Your kind and valuable support is always highly appreciated!

    • You’re actually an inspiration to others with this writing. Many hate their lives and wish they could change. Trough the mundane tasks of life they complain and never show gratitude for how lucky they are.

      Your struggle is a real one that only the strongest can endure. I hope life gets better for you somehow.

      No need to respond.

      • Wow Tim! I had never expected to read such a great and understanding comment to my writing! Of course I have my struggles with my condition. But I am also convinced that every problem presents us learning tasks. When we accept that challenge, we will be stronger and maybe a little wiser. To go through life with an open heart and lots of gratitude for all the wonders and blessings all around us was one of the lessons I have learned. And – everyone has their struggles and fights. Suffering is no competition. In the end, aren’t we all walking each other home?

    • Elke, Ich liebe es! Suffering from a disability myself, I can relate to the struggle. Our writing, however, makes you and me beat the disability and we come out as inspirational in our work. Sehr gut, Elke!

    • Your comment is mind-blowing and touches me deeply! You are so right, we can eithér give up and let the disease win or learn from it and transform the suffering into writing. Life has to offer many gifts despite of illness and disability. Maybe we appreciate them even more.
      1000 und einen Dank!

    • Hello Elke,

      Sorry I’m writing such a late review here. Your writing has always intrigued me. Your words captivate and mesmerize me. This poem shows your strength and determination to move past this debilitating disease and strive for what your heart and soul truly feels. Beautifully written, with such amazing detail.
      Bravo Elke

    • I wish that I could somehow quench the flames that torment you, if only for a few hours…💞
      and often thereafter

      • Awe!!! Your words touch me deeply, dear Jím!
        Know what? Your positive intention reached me across the miles. I feel good right now! xoxo

    • Dear Elke, I love that I can make you feel good. I wish to do that often. Whenever you want…
      Jim 💕
