along the tracks of the railway I’d walk
and the gray sky keeping me company
would walk too.
and toward the factories
slow buses heavy and cumbersome
full of workmen
all I knew of life
would walk along too.
blackouts as dead as the night
and enlightened options bright
would walk too
sunflowers tracking the sun
bitter explosions of pain
doors that had been locked
hopes that were supressed
a silence thwarting even the sun
this hell of mine
and love so fine
all of this walked too
Suddenly I realized
I’d arrived.

Is he saying that we need not search for the day when we can start living. We are living now – make the most of it? I liked this one.
That’s as valid an interpretation as any.
The descriptions so real.
I agree.
Fantastic!!! It reminds me of a song from my youth. ‘Love The One You’re With’.
I’m glad you liked it. I couldn’t access that youtube link but are you referring to the Stephen Stills’ song?
Yes, sorry you couldn’t access it. :o(
Beautiful.
I’m glad you think so.
