    The Struggle
    I have sowed a field of flowers divine
    I have drunk the purest drops of wine
    Tasting every single tear I weep
    I long for treasures I dare not keep

    Within that field of opium lies
    Tempting is the smell of human disguise
    While the morning dove pays its fees in its song
    I shall not expose my weary soul for long

    Looking upon the piercing blue blanket way high
    A solid white flag flies against an ebony sky
    Drowning in the stench
    Drowning in the lie
    All i can ever ask is why

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
