We carry on

- Comment from author about the poem: I thought of a poem that was as short as its title. Although not as short as the poem Fleas “Adam had em” it is still probably my shortest. Here the title is integral to the poem itself and goes deeper than the surface

So we must!
Thanks for the review Cryptic your response is just.
In the UK we were about to trust in (Liz) Truss - but she vanished in a puff of smoke! So we didn't trust in Truss. Doh!
Thanks Orchidee, it's best not to trust in a truss they are too rigid. It is best to prevent the hernia in the first place.
Re-arranging the furniture on a sinking ship?
Or are the rats deserting a sinking ship?
Heigh-ho, me hearties, fix any leaks in the ship, and we carry on
'ashes to ashes, dust to dust
our footprints
harvesting our Time on earth'
and on
that cycle of life
we need but find that one more
step, breath, blink
till, its all dreams as our essence
of unfathomable, existence
and on
(love this, dear Poet)
You've captured in seven words what we face each day, the progress of life on this planet. Simply and sagely penned dear poet.
Thank you Bella for most generous words
We must always carry on soren.
Andy
Thank you Andy, Yes we have little choice until we are no longer here and that we try to prolong.
