Attuned to the notion of success, leaping ahead
Of stepping stones, failure isn’t something the mind considers
As worthwhile, while the underpinning of evolution
Is failure first and success next, genes are let loose
The only loss is time, of which there is plenty
If one isn’t trapped in a human frame, the clock ticks
Differently for nature, as it tries various bloodlines until the right mix
Is achieved, more the failure, sweeter is the eventual success
Change is inevitable, success doesn’t last forever, and failure
Is also transitory, both ever more fleeting in the mind, why cling?
To one or the other, both are tiny pieces in a larger puzzle
That may be solved, when the focus is the effort, not success or failure
