Spilled Ink from the heart and soul of Poet and Author Richard M Knittle Jr.

This is one of my favorites and although it is long, it really does have meaning I hope you enjoy reading it as I have writing these words. I finally found myself on the precipice of greatness, yet still hanging off the edge of insanity. This is part one of my epic mini tale called:  Conversations with God and the Devil: Helping to Heal a Broken World I Saw God  I saw God just the other day and as she was walking by me I stopped and looked at her and asked, ”So how is life high up above?" but she just looked at me turned and shook her head so, I said to her “God, it will be okay I just know in my heart that  soon we will all get it right one of these days.”  She stopped right in her tracks then she slowly  turned around looked me up and down while she stared like she looking right through me  must have been for a just minute maybe even  two then a smile ever so slightly broke out across  her beautiful face, she took a very deep breath  and sh...

How did it slip away? Feels just like yesterday, you went to bed and fell asleep last night then when you woke up your back was hurting so were your knees your hair was thinning and your mustache was a...
