To make of every poem <br />a challenge; face with joy an <br />honourable failure; blaze <br />with glorious sadness: <br />laughing at the glory, <br />smiling at the sadness; <br /> <br />but hearing in the heart <br />that which cannot be said, but <br />is to be ever listened to: <br />unknown, formless, eternal, always present.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/writing-poetry-10/
