Puzzling Words

The last piece of advice

Do not go gently in to the good night

Infinite thoughts, endless nights

What has this been advised for?

Who? When? Why?

It took many evening walks and

Dreams in the day to understand

Those precious words

Seared in my mind, my heart, my soul

And the moment I realized what

They mean, I kept faith in them

What they meant for me to never forget

Was to keep on fighting

For those I loved, for my beliefs,

For truth, and most of all,

To never stop fighting

For myself

For no one can control us

Except

Ourselves
