Say to them,
say to the down-keepers,
the sun-slappers,
the self-soilers,
the harmony-hushers,
"even if you are not ready for day
it cannot always be night."
You will be right.
For that is the hard home-run.
Live not for battles won.
Live not for the-end-of-the-song.
Live in the along.

Enjoyed the wordplay and rhythm, but without substance it's kind of pointless. Talented poet though.

Poetic reply: "ready for the day / when nothing is right / and the only way up the river / is to pull, and pull"
