FORWARD!

Poem for Today - Saturday October 18, 2014

GOING  ONWARDS

When the thunder rumbles
Now the Age of God is dead

And the dreams we’ve clung to dying to stay young

Have left us parched and old instead….

When my spirit falters on decaying altars
And my illusions fail,

I go on right then.
I go on again.
I go on to say

I will celebrate another day ….

I go on ….

If tomorrow tumbles

And everything I love is gone

I will face regret

All my days, and yet

I will still go on … on …

Lauda, Lauda, Laude,

Lauda, Lauda di da di day …
