Objective Opportunities
Unless we hold some object in our view
To fix direction for our hopeful steps
To personal fulfilment, we shall fail –
Trapped in morasses of self-doubt, confused –
To use our talents to their best extent.
Some clear ambition, be it small or large,
Helps concentrate our prime abilities
Into creative plans and practical
Endeavours, which can lead on to more
Progressive paths than we had realised
Were there for us to take, hidden behind
Miasmic ignorance. But if we don’t
Achieve our first-perceived ideal, we won’t have failed
If, in some later course of action, we’ve prevailed.
