Favorite Quote:
"My life is not an apology, but a life. It is for itself and not for a spectacle. I much prefer that it should be of a lower strain, so it be genuine and equal, that that it should be glittering and unsteady. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Crimson and sable, intertwining
A temper with passion
A woe without finding

Commencement of the wandering
The fire that ignites it
Crimson and Sable
No scheme to deny it

Catch it as it goes, impossible

Ever-changing and skillful
Miss it as it goes
Invading and wistful

Crimson and sable

The author's comments:
This poem is about the difficulties of experiencing anger and depression, and when one meets the other pain may seem never-ending. What "inspired" me to write this piece would be when I was frustrated with something and was going through a hard time. I always get a form of emotional release through my writing. It has helped me tremendously. I hope not to discourage other people through this poem but rather to encourage them to keep on striving for happiness no matter what troubling things you may be going through now.
