A Different Way? Poem by Chris Leermakers

There's only way to go
by sea, air, land or by snow
whichever way, you'll never know
move forward
the only way, you are to go
travel far, you travel near
the games are real
no matter who or where you are
as you know no fear
be still my silent pet

The cool night draws in quickly
the candle burns out to the end
the purple dragon looks up with open eyes
what messages are we to send?
we always communicate truthfully

Run and trip once again
speaking with an open tongue
fall, stand up and fly away on her back
Ahh, now I'm back In sync
with all this i'll have a drink
sit, enjoy, and relax right now
eat, smoke and try to think

Ask her while she's running
she's very agile on her feet
deceptive and quite cunning
unusual for this time of year
a little early, or maybe a bit late,
maybe the answer is in the ink

By looking at the round curves on her wings
I can't afford to hesitate
duty calls, I must respond
get back to the empty chairs
then overseas, I will report
to the abstract, strange and delectable kinds

Hey wake up, It's time to go
go and find the treasured land
come back
hold the map In your hand
confusion flys sometimes, let it grind
which path am I to take?
maybe the one here in my true mind
whatever one, for heaven's sake
fate will be the judge of us all
whichever way, it's a different way
fast or slow
the way to life, big or small
yes move forward
there's only one way to go….
