Struggle

For this month's poetry selection, I feature a poem written by Sidney Lanier (February 3, 1842 – September 7, 1881), an American musician and poet. The title called "Struggle" and it is dedicated to those who are having a hard time in what they are currently attempting to acomplish. Enjoy.

"Struggle"

My soul is like the oar that momently
Dies in a desperate stress beneath the wave,
Then glitters out again and sweeps the sea:
Each second I'm new-born from some new grave.
