Notes About The Poem

Anonymous

("Lonesome Day Blues", 2025, original encaustic)

Trying so hard to make a mark
To create at least something
To leave behind
But no matter what
With enough time
With enough perspective
We are all anonymous.

Very deep, James. Makes one think about the time they have and how it should be used.
