That period of time,

When it's time to dine.

That point in time,

When one should take some wine,

For a job well done and,

Days of work come to and end.



Then it strikes,

Hitting its target with spikes,

Tearing deep into the soul,

And taking away ones goal.



It is near success syndrome!

The worst of them all.

It is worse than failure.

It comes when the days,

Of wailing is almost over!



One can take failure as expected,

But this, can never be predicted!

It makes one feel like Moses,

Seeing the promised land,

But never get to enter it.
