Blow Out the Candles...

The best laid plans...
     This is how i am;
or how i handle what i'm given
     Perhaps not the best way
but it seems i have very little say,
     (living without structure,
swaying in the wind)
     unless i toss out a few lines
and some clever rhymes
     to say what you already know
This is how it goes;
     this day's sad tale,
i can promise without fail
     that sadness will prevail
given half a chance
     A dance i know all too well
a pas de une
     where the dancer stumbled and fell
The stammering supplicant
     too timid to yell
but not too ashamed to cry...
