Rise! & Shine!

Don’t hide from the inevitability of your downfall.

Embrace it!

For the greater the fall,

The higher you have climbed.

May we all rise up in spires

Towered with mistakes.

Happy accidents!

For the good of all mankind.

Don’t fear the faults that show your flaws

For we all do have our own.

They show in shadow

In sharp contrast to how bright we shine.

We are each the lights in the dark,

But all stars do burn out.

They do not fade away though,

Rather explode into the stuff of lives.

Each and everyone is important.

You are!

I am!

Don’t hide!

Rise!

&

Shine!

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the positive feel to your words. Old wisdom. We know failure to know what real success is. I like the ending. Reminded me of my military days.
"Don’t hide!
Rise!
&
Shine!"
