Accomplishment

əˈkʌmplɪʃm(ə)nt

shoot for pretty good

shoot for pretty good 
and you will hit the target 
almost every time

my donkey army 
will defeat lions because 
i am no donkey

i hope to win but 
hope is not a strategy 
and strategy wins

a lifetime of light
contributes but a flicker 
to the vasty dark

that wolf from my door 
is nose-to-tail beside the
fire in my belly

if i just practice 
every step ten thousand times 
my luck will find me

grace accomplishes 
what the ego cannot do 
potent alchemy

my seventeenth draft
reads like i knew what i was
doing all along

the task that hinders 
my other accomplishments 
is my only task

wish in your left hand
with the right gather diamonds
see which fills up first
