Keeping it going As long as there is the sun and the moon With the stars shining down Hopes and dreams must prevail Determination lives on And the fire of life.... I must keep it burning Even as the strong wind blows fiercely The coldness biting into the skin And the haze too thick to see thru I am breathless My strength diminishing My head is spinning Just as the softest of whispers I could hear from within And it says so faintly Keep it going...keep it going And so.... Here I am holding on Until... Is it the 12th of never?... I don't know You don't either As no one.. Will ever be sure...  Azam@28/9/09 © marja Form: Tag: Viewed 1788 Times ( 0 today )

I like this. It flows. It's easy to read while still conveying definite emotion...

the shape of the poem on the page emphasizes the poet's inquiry...being rather a worldly person i may have answered the inquiry differently. i thought hard after reading this poem. it is a success.

Until is a big question - and there are as always plenty of uncertainties in the world to give an unsettling background. But Determination is the key as you highlighted at the top of the poem. You've made me think of a poem from earlier last year 'The Determinator' which I penned when feeling too many knocks were coming our way - I'll look it out.....
