Beautiful Loser

 

Successful

at failure

Whose wins

are lost

His battles

ridden

And conquests

gone

 

He tilts at

windmills

Where roads

dead end

All hope

inclement

As tears

— befriend

 

**

 

 

Primal Ordained

 

Looking

into the eyes

of a wolf

Is like staring

into

your soul

 

Not human

or animal

but primal ordained

Releasing

your fear

— his kinship foretold

 

**

 

The Sawtooths

 

The Sky

is the frame

that forever defines us

 

Our peaks

but a silhouette

in the last of its light

 

Horizon

to horizon

we sit at the center

 

Our summit’s

in reverence

— to its shining delight

 

**

 

 

 At The End

 

You can’t manage

what can never be measured

Or hold tight

to what can’t be contained

In the beginning

you never win the race

Only at the end

— victory proclaimed
