No small coward soul is mine
Fearful of shadows own,
Fed by solitary thought
Cultured in wishes and dreams
The light of me shall not dim
As if a transitory ghost,
Troubled by its stormy fate
No, I shall have none of that
Look for some other trembler,
Troubled by events inconsolable
Discontent with the journey
As well as the destination
For all is predicated on chance,
Which clouds foreknowledge
No, it is in these very things
I will partake a particular comfort
And relish the ignorance
For in understanding
Leads to hopelessness
And hopelessness breeds
Quiet, or otherwise,
Lives led by desperation

Profound truth in every line.
As well as being a fine writer, you're quite a deep thinker. (don't even try to argue with me on this)lol

Determination trumps desperation... I love the strength you've written here! *S*

Simple truths are hard to swallow.
You leave so many thoughts to ponder, and I always enjoy your poetry.

Chin up, guy!

Now I am sending you some cheer,
and a hug or two!

Keep writing that deep poetry of yours,
you are an inspiration to some!
