Kept seeing steps to climb

The sun simmered down as it sunk slowly over the jagged horizon.
Leisurely fighting for time as the day turned progressively darker
Not about to indulge in fancy footwork but ungrudgingly frowned
Contending of ways to save the day for good things to remember

How did it come to this, a question that kept playing in his mind
Kept seeing steps to climb not expecting a finality of feelings
He reasoned to just keep seeing them as  non-evasive and acting blind
Working instead on his defenses completely engrossed and waiting

Could someone else be made responsible to hold on to the stake
The rewards were aplenty for the patience of outright  persistence
A question of not throwing away opportunities but to grab the cake
Lesson learned reflecting on disappointments previously experienced

  8. Good to know those steps cann have meaning. A lot of processes have steps, for example 'ladder to success.'
    I like your "save the day for good things to remember."
