To boldly go where no man has gone before
To do what no man has done before
To think the unthinkable to speak the unspeakable
In dreamless dream to hope without hope
To dare
The forbidden to dream
To believe the unbelievable
To do the impossible

I am on holiday for a while, my brothers will be around. Taking a break from poetry. I'll be back. && Nolan And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. ṽ From Ecclesiastes

Oh where have you been my blue-eyed son?

Oh where have you been my darling young one?

I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways
I’ve slept in the middle of seven sad forests
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans

& Bob Dylan

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazing
I heard ten thousand whispering and nobody listening

Oh what’ll you do now my blue-eyed son?

And what’ll you do now my darling young one?

I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where hunger is ugly where souls are forgotten
Where black is the colour where none is the number

&&

And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinking
I will know my song well before I start singing

And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
