When the revolution comes
will you be ready
Hearts afire
flames upon your head
Spirit of your youth
still dwelling in there
Nothing gone or lost
till six feet dead
When the new year comes
will you be ready
Another day
as all new days once more
Earth around the sun
we’re still in orbit
Hanging in there
better than before
Stronger for the effort
and the trying
Smarter
for experience we’ve gained
More empathetic
by the hearts sore tested
Healers to each other
in our pain
When the day begins again
each new one
The revolution
one more spin around
Will you be ready
are you prepared, still willing
Bring it on
we’re still above the ground!
Written for today’s Senior Salon #4. Don’t know how I feel about qualifying for that! I suppose coming up on 55 counts. But still raring to go. Come the revolution – every one of them. 😉
