"Never mind the backward look / Alone with this cup of tea / Waiting for my rice to cook"


Poem Artwork

Transcendental Sonnet #1351:
Waiting for My Rice to Cook

Waiting for my rice to cook
Trying to recover from
Flying blind and being dumb
Hoping that my latest book
Will in spite of everything
All my eccentricity
Prove a worthy offering
Since it is the heart of me
And all that I have left of
What I once mistook for love

In any case I am free
Never mind the backward look
Alone with this cup of tea
Waiting for my rice to cook

+Steven Curtis Lance

Hey I think that I have to go and cook some rice Steve. When the memories come back of certain things. It upsets the stomach. Excellent write Steve.

Giggles. What Kate said. It is good Steven not to look back on a love that never was anyway. As everyone here has told me, that they hope I can let go of my past, and push forward. Letting go, is hard, because of all of the memories, but we can do it. All we need are friends to help us through. This is a very poignant and solid write Steven. Keep them coming in. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little den sister, Barbie
