One Small Life
I set a story forth, and in a day
A thousand cares have swept the thing away.
Of all false facts that mock the universe,
Another that's forgot seems little worse.
And thus I spend my time and shape my speech,
And craft conceits that lie within my reach.

This sounds like when I'm in the car or shower or bed or something, and I think of a cool story idea, and knowing my history, it's likely to be gone when I can do something about it. But I think surely I'll remember it. And then I don't.

It probably only speaks to people who have been in the same situation, i.e., authors. To anyone else, it's probably just an "oh, that sounds nice," but I like it. The rhyme and meter have no issues.

I feel that I keep coming back to this theme, being part of the flood of human storytellers and not knowing if you are making a difference, but continuing regardless as the game itself is worth the candle. I am reawakening a dormant creative project and such thoughts are much on my mind lately. I am very glad that someone is getting it. : )
