Sparkness

How can I win
If I don't begin?

Why sit I here in the dark
Without the flash of the spark?

The start is the spark,
The step is my help.

It's smart to start,
It's art to start.

What's missin' from wishin'?
The start-spark of ignition --
It must become my mission.

The rockets that slice through our skies,
They had to be launched --
That's how they rise.

I am a rocket,
Are all systems go?
That's how I'll rock it
Straight to my goal.

Momentum will carry me,
Inertia will bury me.

It might be a dud,
I could crash with a thud
But what if it's a bud --
The start of something fresh,
The blooming of real progress?

Feet in place can never win the race.
It makes no sense to never commence.

The goal is what I'm wanting,
The journey can be daunting
But it's only at the beginning
Where I initiate the winning.
