He who has begun has half done...

I don't write poetry, I don't want to write poetry, I don't think I can write poetry and I'm most especially not a big fan of conventional poetry. I had enough of that in school. 

Over the last few days I've read a couple of books that have dealt with the themes of hope, struggle, and the general purpose of life especially a life beset by struggles...(if anyone has an answer to life's purpose I'd be happy to hear it).

Anyway these books awakened a little bit of creativity in me (probably because I identify with the themes) and I started writing dialogue which I hope will be incorporated into a story I've been mulling on, but I thought in the meantime I'd post it here. I've pretty much shortened the dialogue into a form of prose...I hesitate to say poetry because like I said, I don't write poetry.

Title - I'm taking a step away from music with this one, title's from a quote by Horace.
