futile

and the flowers will come
after strawberries
the grass greener than winter
the ocean warmer
shoulders bared
for heartache spared
the deep blue
of springing forward
an immigrant
or a solider
the ides of this march
uncharted
roulette or mice
the odds of endurance
our whole lives are risk
and what's winning
conquering, salvaging,
memorable
eye lined
and out of time
for refuse
just the blanket
of tomorrow
keeping today warm
the chase of
suspension
in the circle of life
the meant for Right
naming the elusive
a futile effort
of passing
