Notes About The Poem

Tribute: (Closing line) attributed to Dylan Thomas, famous Irish poet.

For Those Going Nowhere

For those searching the world looking for "what"
As if their lives are some unplayed plot
For those traveling so far to find
All efforts spent, they are left behind
For those friends who flit about
When at home, they're usually out
For those thinking it's always "somewhere"
Discovering no peace being simply aware
For those who set a speedy pace
Never seeing that life's no race
For those wanting a comforting "space"
While others already have found their place
For those souls who truly seek the light
Do not go gentle into that good night
