βIt’s only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose.β
β Joseph Conrad
Missteps in life
Missteps in art
sometimes the balance
just falls apart
Seems I’ve tried
and I know I’ve failed
behind many others
I seemed destined to trail
Better to try
something I’ve never done
then stay at home
with all songs unsung
I’ll aim for a mile
if I only get half
than that’s eight eighty yards
I might as well laugh
It’s half mile more
than those who never left
so yeah I’m making distance
it’s them who’s bereft
If I find I’ve run
in the wrong direction
I just shake my head
and make a correction
For things set in motion
tend to stay that way
If I stay at rest
than I’ve wasted a day
or why not waste two
why should I go on?
Making mistakes
never game one
With each failure I learn
a new way to try
Even if I lose
I’m beginning to fly
