Aspirations

Aspirations:

hope
transparent and thin
like
leaves too long in the wind
oh
confident desire
which
once sprang eternal (never to expire)
now
with gnarled joints
slowly
crawls
to it's knees

Failed Aspirations:

hope
transparent and thin
like
leaves too long in the wind
oh
confident desire
which
once sprang eternal (ever to expire)
now
with gnarled joints
slowly
falls
to its knees

(can you find the differences?)

I wonder if your two sections would benefit from being separated by numerals. Like “I” and “II” instead of “aspirations” and “failed aspirations “. .you have the context in the title. Also, to follow it with a “III” to add what i think could be a third section to instruct/tie it together.
