Failure
failure is a label
failure is a myth
failure is interesting
failure isn’t that appealing
but it fleshes out our bones
and makes us more revealing
failure is me
failure is you
it’s word designed by the strange
and it fails to encapsulate –
so many spiritual gains
failure is legal
failure is the heartache that is brings
failure is an eagle,
one which cannot spread its wings
failure is failing to make a point
perhaps that’s why it i’s here
failure is cruises that never cruise
failure is always near
failure is feeling, that you always lose
James Garratt – February 2002
