Grace, Like a Rooster

Grace, like a rooster, 
    crows all life.
Those who grab the booster 
    gain great heights.
It could boom like a bomb, 
    deafening; 
whiff like soft wind, 
    leaving the ear unruffled. 
Life's laced with grace 
    yet it eludes many;
but when braced, 
    one buoys to the shore 
        like a sea duck 
            atop unruly waves.
