Rolling ,falling ,tumbling , taking on traditions of gravity ,more sincere than religion in its nature Building from a budding breath,carousing on unsure footing ,climbing relentlessly though unchecked Frugal in thought, never realizing the true systems that should have been wrought,time will pay as they mature Blind ambitions masking all intentions, reckless rampage forcing itself upward,but still remaining unprotected Slowly growing ,taking on new ways, actively rising still uncompromising with a pattern littered with phantoms daily paying a penance, yet still offering little resistance ,life's luscious moments taking up most of our time Promises made against hands yet unplayed ,as new trials present themselves matching resistance paid with higher ransoms Middle ground now meeting ,raking together a center piece more exposed ,playing pasts with hopes for a nicer future rhyme Brazen bravery shown ,learned as we have grown but with a cost ,missing links leaving out parts of passion Some may see it as cold ,individually known as bold , still playing part as the trait is linked to our fate Moments of reason sometimes switching with the seasons , true reason still not a daily part of the ration Blameless behavior, based without any reasonable facts, part of how we now react,responsibility now a closing gate Those cautions we were warned to use now showing themselves as deeper wounds ,time building up a more visible wall Climbing the ladder ,missing a few rungs allowable lessons but at what cost, once frozen but still willing to face the frost Individuals moving with learned motivations but still relying on past lessons ,learning slowly may become part of the final downfall So we may pick or choose lifes lessons ,making room for our own reasons ,just playing along ,waging like winners so all is never lost.

ROLLING LIFES DICE
