No Travelers Return

Here Today Gonzo Tomorrow

My demise
Comes as  surprise
Well you may surmise
Pretty much alive
How much longer
Really the question
Rather we ask
Quite self absorbed
What’s in it for me
So you see
To be or not to be
Quite questionable
Should you ask
Present or past
More or less the same
Call me insane
What’s in a name
All the world’s a stage
Turning a page
Libyan Sibyl
Holds open the book
Letting us look
What good prophesy
So shall it be
Gatekeepers mark time
What’s on my mind
When all is vanity
Sea to shining sea
In Charon’s craft
Cross to other side
A Styxing point
Take heed
Youthful steeds
Mark well this day
Time not on your side
While Rolling Stones
Gather no moss
Even Keith and Mick
Ash and dust
Dawn to dusk
Such a loss
Until that day
Make merry and play
Indeed play on
Merry troubadours
For music be the food of love
