“Earth Angel”
(a doo-wop song, debuted in 1954)
A melody to finish
Tiring us out, as
We dance under its
Dappling melody
We are young:
What do we care
About exhaustion
When our energy’s
Unlimited
Entropy an unknown
Peril
We go until we
Drop
We never drop

A wonderful wish. Being able to go until you drop. Of course like you and I, we know that happens quicker than with others; we’ve nothing left to ‘drop.’ Wonderful poem. And I actually have heard the song 🙂

I laughed when I read your response. You’re right–our energies are so challenged! I’m happy you like this. Thank you, Amanda. I was reminded that the song is featured in the Back to the Future film series.

Thank you, sister! The youthful voice is naturally firm–and I guess youthfulness can be expressed the same! Your insight is terrific.

Yes, as I just wrote Mandi. I was talking with a friend last night, who reminded me that the song was in the film. Naturally enough, I could not then get the tune out of my head. At least it’s a fetching melody from, as you say, back in the day. Thank you!
