when plans laid soft and laid with care
and pawns finessed all into place
align not straightaway and fare,
compounding always, as disgrace;
when solemn thought and meditation
(just as water flows o'er falls)
give way to deed and dedication
which, nonetheless, give way to pall;
when endless striving comes undone
and effort doesn't make the grade
when knowledge someone else has won
twice strikes you (loss and guilt for hate)
the every motion that is made -
attempts to mend the mournful mess -
and every thought of loss repaid
all end in 'ell with no egress:
at times the stars themselves array
to throw back down attempts, in vain,
to make of misery a day,
instead, for music when there's rain
make no mistake, nor mar intention -
struggles still should strong be made
to temper tears and break convention;
answer all arrears unpaid
but path-seek not unto perfection
else, upon yourself, inflict
the merciless lessons and directions -
life will strike e'en when you're licked. |
