Sienna of the earth

Failed

Like a rocket that fails to launch
An engine stalled out unable to turn
Like a new toy broken right out of the box
A gift that can never be given.

You were an idea whispered out loud
You grew wings and little toes too
But lost you were from the start
Too many can lead to nothing at all.

You can't have two, it must be one
You must choose which you let in
You must wait patiently and precisely
I won't let you come harmed.

I know this was a disappointment
For you and for us and others
But your turn is soon, stay hopeful
It is only a failure until you get it right.

Sienna. Sienna. Sienna.

Don't be blue sweet little Sienna.
Don't see red as others swell now.
Don't be green for others to come first.
Be Sienna, rich and deep and of the earth.


It is only a failure until we get it right.
