Now I stumbled over your blog via "The Hermitage". I wanted to let you know that this poem resonated deeply with me. It reminds me of how much I want, of how little I can accomplish. Of all the cruel and bizarre failures that litter the way of most people. Of the ossuaries at Verdun full of "heroes"... who mainly just stumbled along. You show the cruel humour of life and the harsh peace of death. But most of all, I feel that this poem breathes compassion. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

In one sentence you have me. In one poem you have sung my epic. I am not a hero, nor was meant to be... But, in my dreams I have been greater and grander, the night giving me my glories until the doltish day broke in with mocking laughter. “They are the food of Death,
not glory.”
