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
