Leaping Lighter

I seek the next plain.
Oh!, invisible ledge I to leap,
away, from stain to stain as
ledge to ledge,
edge ever more refined,
lighter with each climb.
This time and each
break a piece; off
to the tailings!, growing,
piling failures;
Lo! Teacher Time has with
itself lighted ballast in my mind,
as tailings dark
demyst to opalesque lessons, refined
all the lighter now
for my next leap.
