Winning
In the long long course
of a life fully lived,
the process of
the game
of daily doings,
making a living, loving another,
is ample reward onto itself.
But
in the short haul, when
you’re down in the mud, a foot
on your face – on your last strike –
down to your last penny or check
with no credit in sight –
the wind in your face, the seams
pulling apart…well, then –
winning’s a whole
night’s shooting stars
of a lot better.

Final Thoughts
i’ve written another article, also for today, “scarcity and intent in creativity, thoughts” and felt, as the essay is bit involved, the poem would present better on its own page
my bird on a fence photo is used for both postings, and has a much more “involved” meaning once the other article’s also read 😉
but as with most things, at least when dealing with people, that’s us! there’s more than one interpretation and use for most the things we observe, much as we like to think and feel there’s “only one way”
*
the bird, here, in this instance, in relation to this poem, is simply determining which direction to take, where he’d “win” the most, survival, food, environmental enjoyment
but then, i’m just projecting this onto this cute bird 😉
i do believe, though, ultimately, there is only one way, only that it’s too big or complex or maybe even holy for us to more than grasp at it, though grasp we must 😉
if people perish without a dream, there’s no dream, i believe, without the grasping…
and winning the small doings of each day, is huge…
namaste´- con dios – god be with you
