One Chance

Cautious in each step
Ever watchful eyes
For covered holes
And traps set by reality

But still . . .

Oblivious of others in motion
Holes and traps placed by emotion

One chance entrusted
One chance wasted

But still . . .

After the fall and the visions
Of inevitable solitude, hope lingers
For the one chance
To pass and enter again

The one chance from the same
Heart . . .
