5388. I have failed because

```

I have failed,

Not because I have not attempted.

I have attempted time and again

Soulfully, even sleeplessly.

I have failed

Because I have not made even one attempt

At my Lord Supreme’s choice Hour.

What was I trying to accomplish?

I was trying to reach

The summit-height of Heaven. ```
