Survivor with Losses
Who missed and missed again;
Gazing down at the Milky Way?
Visualizing every lifelong magnificent spark;
With eyes, to eyes, in eyes.
Never warmth, to enhance life.
Never a home for sleep.
Escaped the wrath of beauty.
Results created vapors of pain.
Cheaters did not win; they do,
Directions never change; they don't,
Routes never return; they didn't,
Stars fall from skies; they did.
Losses always show up in memories
Someday along the edge of time.
Time? prayed a good fight,
Never once broke the egg.
Close encounters, hasn't won;
What's left of all dreams?
What's the source of strength?
At last, age old corridors arrive.
The embodied soul has seen victory;
Only a few will face real reality
To survive the thousand arrows
Fired at the enforcer's heart.
Missing the misses that missed.
Who missed the mark
And survived? Life goes on?
