Remember to Win

By: Rickie O. Pauley (a.k.a. @Lymmerik)

He took a long journey to follow his heart,
His time to begin, began at the start.
He marveled the hills, the sea, and the stars,
And circled the globe with bars on his heart.

He never knew love, or, nor did he court,
A life of romance, in that he fell short.
Secluded he’d live, in deluded rapport,
For surrounding his heart, he’d built a tall fort.

For seventy years; and nary a friend,
T’was time, so he thought, for his end to begin.
But did it begin for him at the end?
Or was it that day he began to transcend?

On to his next life, through tunnel of light,
This time he would surely find him a wife.
In life after life, it cuts like a knife,
He’d never find love, with strife in his life.

Time after time, he began to begin,
Not where he’d been going, but where he had been.
For much to his now embarrassed chagrin,
He’d never forget; he’d remember to win.

Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings!

I dig it! You could so reduce this from samsara to a single life, or day, or week, and look under the lens of "I'll do better this time," and then watch our pre-dispositions have us end where we began.

@calebmusik,
Oh 100%. I just had a nagging line running through my head and thought I'd expand on it.
Thanks
