Nothing Ventured

Rue the day when dream is over:
Keeps returning, thick as clover.

Similar but ne’er the same:
Keep in mind, rules to this game.

Danger, danger everywhere!
Sleek, suave and debonair...

...How amusing; beasts half tame...
On day born, assign a name...

Give them words and symbols plenty...!
Tell them, That Night, Don’t Go Gently...

Tie them down with fear and shame...!
E’er on verge of dousing flame...

Dreamers' dream and strugglers' struggle.
Schemers' scheme and jugglers' juggle.

...Paint is jumping, canvas, frame...!
...Perhaps the Artist is to blame...!?
