I'm so glad this is nominated. I'm not sure how I didn't read this till now but wow.

I've been absolutely floored since reading the opening lines

"when failure befalls,
why do you ache
in heavy strokes of despair
and don
all the synonyms of pain?"

like !!!

I really hope to see this on the front page

"the sunshine
and rain
in you
are capable
of raising flowers."

Stunning.

just wonderful!

Like a tree, no matter how hard the storm blows, the tree will stand when it's roots are strong. When that tree understand it's strength, it'll stop worrying when the clouds darken.

Take care.
