Ascend
Memories of days splashed with rue,
Misgivings accumulate
Penalties accrue
For when thine judgements of foolhardiness come due
Tis then that you realize that your days here are but few
After touching the bottom rock with the sole of your shoe
Only then
Can you ascend
And set your compass
To true
