Beginning to achieve mastery.
What was difficult,
Becomes redundant,
Dull, too easy.
.
Excitement fades,
Darkness falls.
Cloud-swallow forms.
Drive, appalled.
.
Still, hard-pressed
To be my best.
Continue,
’til the breakthrough.
.
Mastery achieved
Without self-defeat.
What was difficult,
Now a source of release.
Reborn, a happy soul-piece.
