Kings fall and the games end
for one in defeat and one in glory.
It is a story told again and again;
joy in the taking, sadness in the rest.
The board holds a test of skill and will
to avoid the end until we can somehow begin—
overcome, rise against time and troubles...
It is so much like the way life can seem;
Balanced within the chess board is a game
bound tight with rules, each move a vivid possibility
but always given to full expression
is the freedom to fly or fail.
