Quiet Desperation

A poem of righteous frustration

I’m trying to write poetry
But can’t
I want to grasp an idea
But shan’t
I write many words
But rant
I don’t want to harvest
But plant
An original, new, and lovely thought
Something inspired something wrought
Of passion, love, and beauty sought
In the hearts of God and man—not bought
In books and learning or social rot.

Grrr . . .

''I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?'' --''Till We Have Faces'' by CS Lewis
