Ratcheting

I drew the first line to find the last, 
to build a summit where the search was past.

I set the angles, planned the perfect plane,
and watched the final keystone drop like rain.

But in that turning, I forgot the twist;
the geometry my own hand missed.

The climb became the climb again, I found
a spiral turning on impossible ground.

The destination was a fool’s mistake,
a finite promise for a boundless ache.

The peace I sought was not in finding piece,
but in the act, where striving finds release.

So let the stair continue on its way,
a constant question for a given day.

My work is not in perfect, but the art
of walking on, and being just a part.
