The Narrow, Straight

Upon my word 
As a wordish man 
I see the cord 
The woven plan 

Rejection impulse 
A knighted day 
Fetching denials 
For myself: stray 

A road is longest 
A given way 
When turning points 
Cannot be played 

Forgive me failure 
And pasts forgot 
One day I'll start
And never stop
