Poem


Move On, Move On


Oh, you tiresome earthen road,
     this weary traveler faithfully
has walked your hilly, rocky path
     absorbed in its great mystery.

I've traveled far and traveled wide;
     tired, I pause beside your stream.
Its peaceful quiet soothes my soul
     to long for sleep in endless dream.

The fire's made, the chores are done.
     Why must I ever move along?
Just let me lay upon your bank
     and hear your carefree, rippling song.

But, I must move on—on and on,
     make haste while there is sun and light.
More roads to walk and hills to climb
     before the dark and cold of night.
