Oddly enough, this next poem ties with the last post very well. Certain of the comments in the last post were about courage being more important than brilliance in the work.
I am heading out to a New Year's Dance shortly and I must cut short all the fancy stuff. Here's the poem.
It Takes Courage
If I was brave, man,
I would stand here as naked
as the day, so bright
and clear that you would
need shades of your own to stop
the glare. I don't have
that kind of courage.
I have enough love for you
to wish for it, though.
