Gambit To Love
It is often heard as a whisper in the wind,
When leaping forward to take a chance.
Where the heart is put forth to reason,
While stumbling to join the next dance.
Well known for this emotional gamble,
With stakes one can rarely forget.
As risk may outweigh what's available,
And the loss won't weaken the regret.
Yet this nature can also recall the rewards,
That this sacrifice may yield, if bet.
With a bond to withstand any tarnish,
When the compliments endure for the duet.
Since this leap is riddled by imperfection,
Very few will win all without defeat.
The question remains then, whether to
Participate, and take a step forward to compete.
