In my search for prosperity.
Through the labyrinth
of twisted pathways.
This, the alcove of life.
Climbing into the polished saddle
Astride the stallion of victory
riding along in triumph.
Marching ahead into my future.
Polished hooves tapping concrete.
Into the stone of success
I am scratching my niche.
Surpassing expectations.
Only to be thrown in disregard.
Dragged across the jagged shale
by the dark horse of failure.
Rejection.
Getting up once again.
Only to feel the sharp hooves
piercing raw flesh of mutilated pride.
Melancholy.
Through the decay of my mortality.
Now tasting the blood of oversight
my quest goes on for prosperity.
I remount… I will prevail.
Astride
