I thoroughly believe
In writing with passion
And such a belief
Makes it so happen
Nothing was happening
With the Kerouac book
'til I deeply believed
In synchronicity
Soul poets Brick and Lemon
Were steering the battleship
Through deeply troubled waters
With I/Kerouac's spirit
The ship weathered the storms
With Captain Kerouac
And the damn mighty crew
Kept his spirit alive

Fantastic, Richard. The image of the ship, of Kerouac, navigating the narrows is the metaphorical journey all great writers must undertake.
Awesome response, M.J.! Thanks again for the continual support and encouragement.
