Just a beginner with untenable dreams...

****
One of those days... I am sure every artist must feel a bit like this each time 
one hits that cruel cul-de-sac that is rejection

Am I an artist?
Or just a beginner with untenable dreams?
Am I a dreamer?
Living his visions down life’s stream?
Am I the Ocean?
Or the river that feeds a minor sea?
Am I the sum of all my virtues?
Or the imperfections that divide my being?
Am I the sun?
Am I a star?
Am I the calm after the storm?
Or the song of doom in the lips of threatening skies?
Am I the war?
Am I the truce?

R.I.P. 
Adrian Warren

You will be missed...

*******

You stick to the back of my mind
Like a good song.

Like the chant of the cicada
On a glorious summer’s day
Or the memory of good days
That knock misery right on the head.

You stick to the back of my mind
Like a good song.
