Yes he rides through the night
Under the starry light
Going slow
This old world ain’t the same
Am I to blame
Now nobody knows me anymore
Times have changed
Still he rides
I’ve realized
Deep in time
Oh leading a wild & restless life
Into this night
That can’t be right
Still he rides
Oh weaving a path
Through darkness into Light
Who rules the night
Saying only the strong will survive
Spin it around
Stays the same
Oh it’s hard to play
In the world’s love games
Round & round it goes
Still he rides
Oh weaving a path
Through darkness into Light
Trying the best to be a knight
With all my might
Still he rides
Does it really matter
Who rules the night
As I’m in my last fight
Yes only the strong of Faith will survive
Chasing Loves Firelight
Through the night!

- Comment from author about the poem: Does anyone know what will be their last fight, or if it will be a "good" fight? And for all who are peacemakers there is such a thing as fighting a "good" fight as the word implies it could mean simply a struggle.

Good write Don.
Thank You orchidee. Don
Not sure whether this is about the tooth fairy or father christmas?
Are you expecting a big prezzie under the tree?
Actually as I live off of machines like an O2 concentrator and others and meds to then wake up in the middle of the night in pain gasping for air I try to think about life's struggles and my own in reflection, Dusk Arising. How about you when your in pain?
Tonight it was about 1am.
So it feels more like night than day lately.
1st stanza-At my age it is more night then day. Not too much race running here as I am slow.
2nd stanza-As you age people die, things change being I am the type to look in the mirror 1st for change or reflection instead of blaming circumstances or another. Still trying to persist.
3rd stanza-Yes being wild & reckless at times in my life leading into this night can't be right.
4th stanza-Still I persist in living and moving through as this world is kinda dark or don't you read and that only the strong survive according to what they teach. Yes the light I am moving toward is something you still scoff at dusk arising.
5th stanza-The world is one big soap opera going nowhere just round and round as if life is just a big ass game, No Growing or Growing up so to speak. Yes this includes me too.
6th stanza-Still i persist doing my best moving towards the light to grow into a knight with all my might.
7th stanza-Still I will persist as who cares who rules this world right now as whether you or I or anyone want to admit it we are in the final fight, at least that is what my Poem purports.
Final stanza-Going after Loves firelight. Through the darkness.
Again why I am explaining this as you have already missed the point with your analogy and will respond with nothing enlightening.
Now that I have spoon fed you, should I burp you too dusk arising?
Do you think you are the only person life is happening to? Or is ignorance bliss for you.? I know all about getting old and waking up being unable to sleep from pain but i don't fire it at people who take the piss out of my pathetic poetry, unlike you appear to do.
I know all about the nearness of death and i've had illness which makes me consider it near enough, but i do not pretend to suddenly have become pious and believe in a fairy tale book and its mythical version of heaven, again unlike the content of your recently published twaddle.
Your postings and comments reveal you are a very confused individual. Isn't it about time you began to show your love for the beautiful world we live in and let THAT shine from your poetry?
So putting you over my shoulder to get rid of all that gas you spew is not happening, Dude! oh wait dusk arising
Damn so much righteous indignations with absolutely no heart is kinda delusional or am I? dusk arising
Once again who asked you to even look at my Poem?
LOL @ knee-jerk reaction published 2 minutes after my response to your comment..... where is the love Don?
Just saw your 05.02 comment.... if you don't like people looking at the stuff you post on mps... don't post it... simples!... or is that too complicated for you..... Have you ever posted anything which shows how beautiful the world is?.... can you?
Actually I love anyone looking at my Poems/Songs and honestly I love when getting praise or even getting constructive criticism too. What seems to be your problem is you think I have to live by your standard or do what you want, that ain't ever going to happen. Yet you constantly and consistently read into my Poems/Songs things that are not there, not 1 writing has told anyone what to do or how to do it that is your reading of it and yes when attacked I have wit enough to respond with anything and everything just like you. So who is what in all this dusk arising?
It is a known fact that some people love going out of their way to get a rise out of anyone, I think its called trolling. Why do you troll my Poems/Songs?
I mean is it your personal mission to convert me to your religion? Yes your belief what ever that is, is your religion as is with all of us. What we believe in is the religion of our own choosing. Have I ever tried to convert you? I don't think writing the way I am and feel is trying to convert you or anyone so either quit reading what is so upsetting for you or be the hypocrite you are. As I am not, did not, will not ever push anything on anyone and for you to say that my writing is doing that or my defense of my writing is doing that as the end all, be all of the world is a LIE you put out. Not something I have ever said, done, or pushed on anyone. So please help your self, ignore me if that is what it takes and quit thinking every thing I post is for you personally as it is NOT! Don
I admire your inability to address any points raised by those who dare to comment upon the excellence of your work.
However i will address to quirks you raise in your last comment.
* I have not been a constant and consistent reader of your poems ..an incorrect accusation from you in your fantasy world of non reality.
* Calling me a troll is ridiculous as can be seen by the many comments i have made on contributors work currently standing at 3014 comments from me showing I am a regular contributor joining in with the spirit of MPS compared with 52 comments generated by you....strangely some of those are actually comments upon your own posts, rather perculiar.
* Unlike you i have not posted anything attempting to 'convert' anyone to any religion though clearly in your confused state of mind you see my criticism of your banal preaching posts as such. Try to be logical.
That clears up your false accusations.
Is it possible for you to actually address any of the points i raise. If not it leaves any reader with certain thoughts about your mental condition.
Now how about you posting a nice piece about how you love something about existing in this wonderful world. Or are you incapable of expressing such?
Blah, blah, blah go troll another as you are out of your mind. Just like a stalker who will get in the last word I apologize for shaking your world to its core with a simple message in a simple Poem. Let it go or be the pit bull troll you already have proven to be.
Dude take the debate any where you want I am out. Don
Ha ha ha .... you cant even accept proof when its given to you DOH!
Now please, some poetry about loving the world if you can stretch to it Mr Angry.
May that love be found and the light fill your life.
Andy
Thank You Andy. Amen and Amen to your lovely words. Don
