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.
