on the eve of the birth of my book Sea Stones


Poem Artwork




Becoming

Oddly classical and formal
A fastidious fellow I
Am definitely not normal
(If such a thing exists these days)
A solitary simple soul
And a little set in my ways

As unrelentingly I try
To achieve whatever my goal
Might be with cunning courtesy
Like getting good at poetry
Perhaps becoming somebody
Before (maybe after) I die

Believing the dream becomes me
Becoming and coming to be

+Steven Curtis Lance

I love a sign in Asheville, N. Carolina that says 'Asheville, where normal is 'weird', which sums up that wonderful city very well...

It is a sad state of affairs when people become more interested in you and your work after you're dead. Steven you already are somebody, and a somebody with a great gift that blesses others. Put away your fears!

This poem was a great overview of yourself! Stand Strong!

In gratitude ...
