(no subject)
So, yes, I've taken to posting others' poetry instead of my own poetry or rants about the life I lead. I spent the night with Brandon and we drank ourselves silly. We woke up and Evan (his roommate) cooked us breakfast. Then we sat around telling jokes for a good half hour before Evan left. I took a shower while Brandon went to buy the new Harry Potter book (for which I made fun of him endlessly). We ate Chinese food, which made me sleepy to the point of taking an hour and a half nap. I left shortly after to go get ready to see Jason in Oklahoma City. I had to cancel our plans when I found out my mom was sick. I wanted to be here for her. Here, this is a beautiful poem, and pretty much sums up the whole of my efforts...ever.
LIFE
Forenoon and afternoon and night,-Forenoon
And afternoon and night,-Forenoon, and-what!
The empty song repeats itself. No more?
Yea, that is life: make this forenoon sublime,
This afternoon a psalm, this night a prayer,
And Time is conquered, and they crown is won.
-Edward Rowland Sill
