Chapter 646

Let's Go

The path of life
Exists in a shadow
Its destination is seldom
At the end of a rainbow

The journey itself
Can be fast or slow
It can reach high
Or dip down very low

There is no pinnacle
Or even a plateau
Everything is always in flux
Like a never ending escrow

What does one keep
What do they forego
What do they lend
What do they barrow

Life without substance
Is vacant and hollow
Few things can grow
Everything remains shallow

Is the direction to follow
Where the wind will blow
Filled with folly and woe
As one goes with the flow

Nothing actually started long ago
Somehow the past we still must tow
There are feelings to bestow
That can set one aglow

Who is a friend or who is a foe
Do we really ever truly know
Upstream one must always row
When everyone is ready - let's go

Nobody
