I Wish I Could Write a Poem Today
(but Happy Birthday to Franziska anyway) I wish I could write a poem today But life has ground me down to nothing now If I could I would make a poem say The things I find unspeakable somehow As touching how this life is touching me Today in a way I find unpleasant In a word roughly or abusively And not really worth living at present Given the disappointment the sorrow To say nothing of the hopelessness when Yesterday is gone with no tomorrow But maybe I can write a poem then Or the day after or maybe next week Or maybe it may never be at all If today is it is too much to speak The problems too big the poet too small The chasm between the two yawning wide As a deep shadow is cast like a pall As I await the fate of the helpless As I am devoured by my destiny Having already piled up poetry Enough for anybody now I guess If I could I would make a poem say The things I find unspeakable somehow But life has ground me down to nothing now I wish I could write a poem today +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMVII |

friendship is more valued than words, and I often doubt if one can reduce worlds of love into a bunch of letters
Thank you *f |
