Stone Enclave

If I put my head deliberately into the fire, there is no appeal to fire or to the maker of fire, and I have only myself to blame. - Thoreau

Better to have burnt skin in the game.

Letting truth take temporary refuge in shame.

Hindsight always looks back from a crystal clear day.

Time erases all remnants of conflicting gray.

Redemption always grows in neat little rows.

Chiseled within the art of Heaven's undeniable prose.

Take no regrets to the grave.

Huddle for eternity in a ...

...stone enclave ...

Author's Note

“In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high.” - Thoreau

[John the Baptist]

I think the poet is saying it's better to have played the game fully and made mistakes. As he puts it, ''Take no regrets to the grave.'' Sounds like good advice to me.
