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

Beautiful message here Hank! I love this!
ReplyDeleteWonderful title! The tension in this was palpable--keep going? Veer off into stasis? A great write on choice and effort.
ReplyDeleteLots of wisdom here ... grabbing the cake. Yes.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Hank. I especially like your opening lines.
ReplyDeleteYep. Life is all about choices, opportunities and lessons learned. You pen it well.
ReplyDeleteGood to know those steps cann have meaning. A lot of processes have steps, for example 'ladder to success.'
ReplyDeleteI like your "save the day for good things to remember."
