Without The Possibility Of Failure
Would we really be so blessed?
Let’s dream a little here, shall we
Dream of a world without failure,
A place of success and happiness
A utopia where we are all blessed.
***
We’d be living on an all natural high
Everything we attempt, we succeed,
Never knowing a failure in any way
It’d be fabulous, don’t you agree?
***
But wait, how would you know
If failure was never a possibility,
Would you know you’re a success
Not with any real credibility.
***
You need the ups and downs of life
To fully appreciate the good times,
If life is only success, an even keel
We’d be trapped in its strict confines.
***
Without each of the polar opposites
Life would become less meaningful,
Without failure, what is a success
How would we measure our progress?

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
