Individual ambition incrementally

Transformed from hope for singular success

Into something very close to holiness

Pride traded for peace
Failure for understanding

Paradox finding fulfillment
As foolishness is wise

IV

Purity unraveling into compassion
Clarity converted by color

Pristine deferring to profound
A place for darkness and light

Mixing means and methods even ends
Toward constructing a space wherein
Individuality unfolds into grace

If ambition matures
Finding opportunities in
Previously unseen possibilities

Resulting in outcomes
Organic rather than ideal
But reflecting context

Discerning what is possible today
Even accepting long delays
Adapting function and form
