Through And On

Joe Ely / Reckless Kelly: Rider in the Rain

They will declare:
Every journey
has been taken.
You shall respond:
I have not been
to see myself.
They will insist:
Everything
has been spoken.
You shall reply:
I have not had my say.

They will tell you:
Everything has been done.
You shall reply:
My way is not complete.

You are warned:
Any way is long,
any way is hard.
Fear not.
You are the gate--
you, the gatekeeper.
And you shall go through and on . . .

--Alexandros Evangelou Xenopouloudakis
