Knock it in though careful not to be rash

Contemplation (here)

Wild elements co-existing in the being
Throw it to the winds to designate a potential
Kick the dust and see what blows the stings
Explosions hard to explain harder still as a ritual

Knock it in though careful not to be rash
To preserve the status quo is even better
Monitor the progress and bid for a dash
If it should suddenly erupt to end in tatters

Not to suggest to abandon amid cowardice
But to preserve the strength intact in one piece
Being wild but being smart is then no dice
To fight another day triumphant as one had wished
