Notes About The Poem

The Passage - FOX Series - Where To Watch

The Passage

The river flows, it never stays,
Through endless nights and sunlit days.
It carves the stone, it shapes the land,
Like grains of life, shifting like sand.
We start our journey, green and new,
With prying eyes and skies of blue.
We chase the dawn, we seek the light,
And find our way through every night.
The path is long, the turns unseen,
Of what will be through what has been.
We learn to stand when shadows fall,
And rise again, and give our all.
For every challenge, every test,
It pushes forth to do our best.
The heart may ache, the soul may mend,
Until the very final end.
So cherish moments, big and small,
The love we share, the sound, the call.
In unity, our spirits bloom,
Dispelling all the endless gloom.

Your piece (especially to poets) hints of the theme of Robin Williams hit - Dead Poets' Society which is a favorite of mine. It's easy listening to national news, to get depressed. So I turn the news off and listen to other more positive voices like your piece here. You reasonate hope well, Hilo.

O Captain, My Captain, a phrase that resonated with a lengthy ballade that I had written some time ago.

The image that I found seems to be from some film, clueless to me. I googled the wording, and that appeared. This poem was originally about the immediate future, hinged to 2026, but the other poem was a direct link.
