Two sides to a coin

ztaysimple

Even the utmost faithful can feel hopeless

Yet the hopeless can inspire the homeless

The highest inspired ultimately feel disappointed

Disappointments are valuable lessons unexploited

Value doesn’t always feel worthy

The worthy don’t always act morally

The max moral inevitably die

But death can symbolize a beginning cry

Beginnings always have an end

And endings imprint a new era amend

New eras can sporadically resemble prior arrangements

Prior arrangements inspire new approaching engagements

New approaches invite old departures

Departures of inferior habits means the improved you will stay

We may live to see another day

But if we flip a coin varies times it won’t always land the same way

    "... heads I win; tails you lose--" was a line from a rhyme they taught us way too many years ago. Ergo, I don't flip coins since I'll lose either way, which is perhaps what they intended me to learn?
    Beautifully rendered with a subtle poignancy, dangling before the reader a haunting carrot. Thank you for sharing.
