Poem (Mark Edward Fuller)
"The way we go"

I will go on till I go
when and where, I don’t know

whatever life throws at me
I will take it on the chin

knocked down I will get up again
and smile albeit forced
and maybe laugh nervously
hoping my masquerade is taken seriously

but even if it isn’t
I will go on with what exists
with life and its unfathomable mix of beauty and pain

and with these words I go on again
