An attempt at free flow. Tell me what you think please?
  My Loss

If you compere my life to yours

can you discern the differences?

The precise scheme that propelled us

to our seperate destinations.

Yours was the triumph.  Mine was not.

I never stopped to examine

why I let opportunities

stream away like precious liquid

sent to irrigate the desert.

Now, if I dare to look backwards

would I realise the chances

that I failed to grasp?  And if not,

why not?  My inertia.  My loss.
