...ancient words of new wisdom live, breathe
as i am born to become a living poem...

"Simplexity" by Irene Suchocki

I MANY times thought peace had come,
When peace was far away;
As wrecked men deem they sight the land
At centre of the sea,

And struggle slacker, but to prove,
As hopelessly as I,
How many the fictitious shores
Before the harbor lie.

~ Emily Dickinson
