I
Shall we tread back
Through the mellow streets,
Burnished with old fables
To reach once again
Those yonder years?
II
I shall now return
To the place
Where I woke, walked and wandered,
Where my memories abound;
To my home, beneath the summer skies
Long lost
In the turgid ebb and flow of shoddy deeds.
Poignant poem, friend. But let me quote something by Brecht,
"Ich gestehe es:
Ich habe keine Hoffnung.(....)"
"I confess this:
I have no hope. (...)."
