Way to go
As long as there’s sunshine
the star rising, setting on sides
as long as there’s blood and air
running into the veins, energizing my organs
I will not succumb to the liar
let the goon come with its guns.
As long as there’s moon in the sky
its light touching my eyes
as long as there’s hope in the heart
healing me, asking to restart
my body will not yield
and abandon the field.
As long as rainbow has its hues
dawn delivers dews
as long as horizons lie on the planes
clouds kiss the mighty mountains
waves emerge from the bed of the seas
my seat will not stop, it’ll continue to beat.
Would never leave the stage
but fight with the Sage
whatever be my age.
I’d live every breath
from nature derive strength
to wrestle with my death.

i didn’t understand this line at all and it belongs to the best strophe too of the poem
my seat will not stop, it’ll continue to beat.
if you please help me understand it.
really liked the following
As long as rainbow has its hues
dawn delivers dews
as long as horizons lie on the planes
clouds kiss the mighty mountains
waves emerge from the bed of the seas
Dear Nic…you are pretty quick… thank you for reading and commenting. If you have not understood it at all (I like that…’at all’ bit) then it means I have failed…. but ‘heart’ has been compared to the seat in many mythologies.
Best.

thanks for your reply, you have not failed, i had no idea that heart has been compared to the seat.
