"So what is left of me? This poetry / Thousands of poems which I leave to you / Debris of a dream which never came true "

Transcendental Sonnet #1402: Failure Once I was believed to be anointed To do important things before I die Then I was fifty and disappointed A failure who could only speculate Somehow I knew I would never know why This is that special cruelty of fate Causing us to wonder as we blunder Searching for some answer as the cancer Eats away today and then tomorrow Is our last and still there is no answer Which is because there simply never was So what is left of me? This poetry Thousands of poems which I leave to you Debris of a dream which never came true +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMV

You are not a failure unless you believe you are. Your brilliance is evidenced in the poetry you write...now live the words and be a light unto a darkened world.
Love Chanti
