Fleeting Failures

With ev’ry fiber his body is tense,

A silent request to forget the cold.

Aware his passive needs wish no offense,

Spiritual reckonings react bold.

~

Haunting memories; Nature’s innocent

Reality might always knock on doors,

Holding keys allowed while only recent

Lessons may describe pathways he abhors.

~

When suddenly life has many years now

Traveled beyond that hour of settled doom.

Now might the passerby recall, just how,

That fleeting failure could perhaps mushroom?

~

Remember each trail, forever recall

Life reaps beauty within each time we fall
