Another sonnet to failure
September 10, 2017
In hearts of many men you lie,
spreading seeds of doubt and pain
In cowards and the weak you reign,
as fears and flowering passions die.
Thoughts of failure fleeting by,
you, the mighty lion's bane.
On sunlit picnics, the fear of rain.
In summer droughts, the beaming sky.
you say, "My name is Failure, child,
and you, my greatest work of art.
I've stunted, beat, and broke and riled
the sorry lump that is your heart.
But somehow, though you're weak and mild,
I'll never tear your dreams apart.
