Summer School

Have you ever, 

Observed Raven,

Negotiating its own,

"Tough nut to crack?"

Focus.

Determination.

Persistence.

Patience.

No concern.

None.

For failure.

To dizzying heights,

The prized nut,

Is carried, 

Then dropped.

It plummets earthward,

Raven in pursuit,

An objective exists,

That outcome cannot disrupt.

Up.

Drop. 

Impact.

Failure.

Up. 

Drop. 

Impact. 

Failure.

Will intention,

Be realized, 

First Go,

Or after one thousand?

Absolutely.

No alteration.

Of intention.

Nor method.

Up. 

Drop. 

Impact. 

Failure.

Never.

Does failure.

Mean. 

Stop.

To do so,

Another,

Will dine,

On your intention.

Up. 

Drop.

Impact.

Dinner is served!!
