Stout athlete dedicated to compete
in painful world of endings forced to bow
learns everchanging challenge brings defeat
a winner takes the end of endings now.

From body's deepest core of vitalism
great strength surprises all who would be free
devoted heart returned through mental prism
finds rest awake within entelechy.

Wait not for ends as opportunities
like watering the leaves to feed the root
with eyelids closed begin to truly see
wild wisdom, jubilation absolute.
