The Eternal Struggle

The Eternal Struggle Hopeless now, to fight against Fate and Time put pen to paper, write verses in rhyme Battle raging storms and eternal wind all to hold fast racing dream with no end Yet no other choice does man's spirit give except to struggle forever to live Deep within scenes of longing and praying poet's mind, reveals what heart is saying Blind obedience to mystical muse gifts a true seeking soul for her to use And in that act of writing as a team may come more than wailing cries, so it seems For shining trails into the dark unknown one may through dance and red-fires have grown Robert J.
