Tossing the thoughts!

 

 

The coin flipped high…

Dazzling the curious eyes

Revolving…

Somersaulting…

And

Fell on the ground..

Twirled

With a clank…

A toe dancer!

 

He gazed-

 

If tail-

He

Had a tale!

 

And Head!

So,He

Moved ahead…

 

After all,

It’s a game!

 

He-

 

A dreamer by birth…

dreams- Aliyah!

 

A coin- a cachet for

Winning

And

Losing…

 

But

Each time, the loss

Escorted him…

 

Loss-

The only laurel wreath

of

the bankrupted mind…

 

No one lose

No one win!

 

Losers-

The valiant winners!

 

He march forth-

With a coin-

 A Head!

To be the Winner-

Of the lost game!

There are those that prefer it that way and engage an entire lifetime making themselves good at it. Its quite a drive if you know what you are doing. This is useful because at some point all of us takes a gamble with what we know. Nice write!
