Cheers! Cheers!

A poem inspired by a passage from Kierkegaard's journal

Cheers Cheers! We yell!

We yell cheers and it

Travels like a bell

The ring that give out

Through the cheers and chatter we shout

Cheers Cheers

Cheers

Everyone happy with their cheers

No sadness or melancholy exists

Cheers

With the music playing

And the drinks spilling and clinging

And the guests drinking

Cheers

With more guests drinking

Cheers

Drink! Cheers! Drink! Cheers

Cheers

Everyone so happy see one another

With the center of attention being all

Cheers

We raise our glasses many of times

Chimes of the glasses

Cheers!

To my piers I give cheers!

Then the clock strikes

Cheers

But the last few cheers

For everyone must leave

We give our last good bye around

Cheers cheers cheers

Cheers

The door is closed with the final

Cheers!

 

Then the music goes off and all go away

Fear fear

Comes across the mind

Tears

Tears within mind

Even with all the joyful bells of recent past

A strange desire for a bullet blast

Cheers!
