Successful Failure

Once again standing he was, with a choice to make

Never an easy one, knew he, from the past

To failure, both the roads will take

For without much time to think, the die was cast

The choice was, therefore, between now and later

An immediate failure and new start right now;

Or fantasy of success now which later will falter

Never an easy one, knew he, just standing there

Tough it will be on his beloveds to accept immediate failure

For with him they had been from the start

Realized he, of the consequences to be severe

But remembered he, the strength of standing true to the heart

Words, the heart can hold, he thought, but not action

‘Cause conveying concerns deserves right time

For time it takes to nurture compassion

And time it takes to realize the purpose sublime.

Always an easy way forward the fantasy of success was

But only as long as it could stand good

See, the concerneds will, sooner or later the big moral faux pas

Realize then they would, the result of inevitability postponed

Many choose to succeed now and stay in fantasy

Regret they perhaps, in the future, for making such choices

Difficult to face later on, the impending self-mutiny

What good will they be, such failed successes

Thus it was taking the blow and waiting for success to happen

No doubt an immediate failure, but it will be a fresh start once over

Proud one day, everyone will feel, for the trust was not broken

So it was for him, yet again, a successful failure.
