Love Sonnet XXIV (Dylan Revisited)

Love Sonnet XXIV (Dylan Revisited)

 

 

Night is fast approaching, it’s

getting too dark to see and

I need to lose these blues, rid

that black cloud we all can see.

 

I’m “knocking, knock, knocking"

on Revolution’s door. Long ago we

fought the “Man” who put us down, he

laughed at all the miseries he caused.

 

So, I’m “knock, knock, knocking" on

Revolution’s door, working to learn and

apply this liberating path, one that

 

will free the spirit from the cell; the

one that follows along the Avakian Trail.

I’m knocking on Revolution’s door.

Author's Note

....thanks for reading. An aside: Dylan was starting to go down the "religion" path with this song, but back then as now, we don't need to be on our knees. Rather we need to act on "We Refuse To Accept A Fascist America".

This is one of my favorite poems of you. It definitely has a different harmony and I read it over and over again. I feel it, I live it and I hold on to each word more. I will knock on the door of this poem from time to time. "I need to lose these blues, rid that black cloud we all can see".

People crave revolution when under the wheel but forget things just go around and around. Best to evolve and forgo the tread marks altogether. This was a wonderful write, Curt:)

Hi Pryde! Thanks for your visit and your kind words!
Don't you think that history shows us that things evole more in a spiral way? When looked at straight down it looks circular, but as seen in different directions there is an evolutionary progression. How else can we understand human development, advances in science and technology, health and biology, everything actually.

I always appreciate your visits and your reviews, they allow me to think.

You will get a badge of honor to knock on revolution's door, whether in politics, religion or music.
Best wishes!

Thanks Sami! I will wear that "badge" gladly! And unlike so many of my generation, who gave up or gave in, I continue to "knock, knock, on revolution's door" helping to open it and usher in a whole new way to live, a whole new society. We humans deserve nothing less.
