One More

Take it all off

Take a dip into uncertainty

Where my toes don’t touch the bottom

One more splash of cool confidence

Stars laced with freezer burn

Guide tattering fingertips

Overflowing with hope --

One more slip with fate

Rolling sweat beads

Stoke my passion’s fire

Another day at the grind

One more glimpse of glory

Taste my bounty

In the wake of goodness

I lick the spoon bare --

One more pinch of wisdom

My future footsteps

are in a vulnerable state

My destiny newly recovered

One more slap to the brain

One more look

One more doubt

One more push

One more bite

One more forgiving chance
