Won’t lay my crosses down: A poem 

I am worn out, but I won’t lay my crosses down  No! I won’t complain! Won’t have the heaven’s frown  I’ll keep painting the walls of every town  I’ll walk in a straight line, then walk around  There is birth at dawn, and rebirth at sunset  after the long day’s travails, which I vet  AndContinue reading “Won’t lay my crosses down: A poem “
