A series of small wins
Against the background of adversity
Moments of triumph
Which appear like brief flashes of light
Dancing across the twilight
Like fireflies
When all along ...it’s nightfall
Looking upon the stars in the night skies
We get a brief respite for awhile now and then
And while the moon is full
And the skies are clear ...eerie whispers and shadows
The howls of wolves ...or is that coyotes
Spook the deer and small creatures ...hiding in fear
Devastation is sure to follow
One thing is clear
It takes skill, persistence and patient observation
To overcome a more clever or powerful adversary
A series of small steps ...in time
Can overcome a much larger foe
Study ...your enemies
Know their history ...both triumphs and failures
Their strengths and weaknesses will reveal themselves
And you will gradually learn the strategies
Necessary to overcome
