Favorite Quote:
"The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality."
- T.S. Eliot


Live Day by Day

What a common phrase

Something I refuse to accept,

Let alone embrace.


Why live day by day,

When all you see is clouds of gloom and gray,

That reflect the repeated failures you make

Oh, child,

Don’t forget about all the times you’re on your sore knees to hopelessly pray!


Days go

Weeks proceed

Months come along

Then a year is complete


We climb to the peak of the mountain

And there’s nothing there.

So we turn back, disappointed.

Back to that Revolving Circle,

And do it all over again.
