"If you want we can walk together"


Poem Artwork

Under the Moon by the Railroad Track

They tell me we live and learn but
I am uncertain what they mean
It only seems like we earn what
Little we know of destiny
By simple serendipity
Yet in a random universe
It could always be a lot worse
And very often it has been

We grit our teeth we face the pain
The moon wears neither smile nor frown
We fall but we get up again
To rise so high that up is down
Then weep but weep away the stain
And what we see of destiny
Will be enough for you and me
In this the only game in town

Earth to ashes and dust to flame
It only seems like we earn what
They tell me we live and learn but
Humanity is not to blame
The vanity the grief the shame
The ultimate futility
In this the only game in town
Remain but leave them let them be

We will always have stormy weather
Just keep walking and never look back
If you want we can walk together
Under the moon by the railroad track
I look at the moon and see her smile
She whispers "love" and "never look back"
And night is bright at least for awhile
Under the moon by the railroad track

Steven,

When you read your poetry aloud, it is like slam poetry: you pack much into rhyming verse; it lingers long after being heard. Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
