Failure
One can take a long look at everyday life and not understand the things around him.
He can also be the greatest guy around or the one with the most money and maybe the one with nothing.
In striving to maintain an equilibrium, he may not be able to get along with himself as well as others; he may not understand himself or his friends; he may feel subjected and obligated when he should not; his home life may be disturbed and daunted by frustrations and pressures he cannot comprehend; he may lose communication for lack of expression.
One who wants to be real in life, but has not yet found the confidence to believe in himself or those around him, because of imposed falseness, may fall apart for failure to understand, comprehend, express, and communicate effectively with everyone.

About the Book
Of
Life and Love is a remarkable collection of poems that explores the past and
probes the future, that analyzes our present-day
despair and reveals our shared experience.
William Lowenkamp is an astute observer, a man
who understands the universal emotions of man and is able to capture everyday
life in moments that come to all of us...the joys of young love, the pain of
separation, the richness of the inner life of even the most inarticulate. That the author is able to capture all of
this in simple lines with little regard for classicism, and that he can make us
relieve every emotion he touches on, is a measure of his art.
“The
Search” offers a glimmer of what’s to come:
Deep
in the shadows
of my mind
Lurk thoughts
of many situations...
situations which
My heart was
in search for
but never found.
