The power of defeat

"The knowledge of our defeat (of disillusionment) is a victory"- C.Trungpa

You spoke of the power of defeat,
I spoke of the power of dreams.
It was a little class-room of life.
You- the teacher, you brought half the truth.
I, the pupil, I brought the other half.
Mother. I needed years, centuries
To make your half truth my own.
