John Maximus Ibag Poet Rhyme

Mad Hope

In illusory water
A lone man row unending
Following all Life's master
Working his hand's unyielding.

Time's a river that ever flows
Began before beginning
Forever a lone man rows
Flowing long after the end
Unbending he never bows.

Downstream lies the cruel currents
Knowing the final moment
Death awaits a man's lament


Hopeless be a man who fears
Dead man be one who he peers
End is nigh yet the man sneers.

Time's a river that ever flows 
The approaching end he knows

Yet the man still rows.
