"Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous." ~Anais Nin

Ivy

Sometimes I feel like ivy 
Without trellis, tree, or wall.
I hear of other ivies which, 
With help, grow strong and tall
Into the sun.

I alone am the one
That's forced to crawl,
Sending my tendrils to grope
And claw
Along the dark and shaded ground
To find any patch of light–
However small.
