Changing Perspective

Caught in the swinging
doors of error, I continually
create my own consequence...
building a fence against myself'.

Unable to see the analysis,
imagining the picture of time
and space spinning around me,
growing weaker, I lose the race.

Then in a flash of luminosity,
realism rescues me; I see truth
today, recognized as error in the
future, and greater treasure ahead.

Suddenly the balmy sun is
shinning again; and through the
glow I see the possibility that one
day losers like me will learn to win.
