    A Long Walk With Time

    I've walked some miles and have not stopped,
    Because I haven't found the spot;
    I look ahead, at times look back,
    I look around, I pause and start.

    Then I wonder and ask myself,
    Do I remember those I've met?
    How many right turns did I make?
    Were there left turns or some mistakes?

    Of course I'm not a perfect one,
    I've surely made some ugly turns;
    Along the way there were bad signs,
    Weaknesses triumphed many times.

    I've also learned to wash the dirt
    That I have gathered from my drift;
    I felt remorse, cleared them with tears,
    I've worn a mask and changed oufits. 

    What now do I intend to find?
    No wish, no hope for sun to shine.
    Old dreams had flown with destined line;
    I'm left to drift and walk with time....

    Thanks, Papa. I know it's not yet late to see colorful flowers along the way, not the devilish roses. I've stepped on them many times. Anyway, I'm still doing the walk ...Thanks a lot for your appreciation.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
