May We Find - (Ravin' Ink Group submission - If man is still alive, we may find) carl - Mo

response to (Ravin' Ink Group submission - If man is still alive, we may find)

May we find and realize   

we’ve not yet reached the end

so our story must unfold

as did heroes way back when.

We still must all roam about

with lanterns held in our hands

like did Diogenes of old

searching for an honest man.

Like Jason and his Argonauts

who sailed upon troubled seas

we’ll search for fleece of gold 

still hanging from Ares’s tree.

And as weary Sisyphus 

whose labor did never cease

we must roll burdens up hill 

until our final release. 

Aided by fair Calliope 

who fashioned words so fair

let us form similar songs

to banish all doubt and fear.

With strong and lasting courage

we’ll labor to carry on

and give fellow travelers

our very best hope filled songs.

Many thanks for the reminder Carl, as I've had brainfreeze over the festive period and had to check to see that this is indeed the next ravin' ink prompt. (Sorry Vol, I'll get right on it!)
If we are indeed still alive, we may find that the oncoming Trump(et) and his Musk(ateer) are only getting their show ready after final practice and we will have many more days of slack jawed astonishment ahead of us. (Well I guess we both now know which direction my heads pointing this prompt at)
Keep singing those hope filled songs. I hear they keep the mind and body active in the harshest of days. 😃

"May we..." as in Please may I have a crust of bread?' this was the avenue I took, but I agree with your take of, "we may see Jim Morrison's Soft Parade." Thanks for the read and review, be well -carl
