Deck of Cards

The cards in my hand shuffle,
the sound fluttering the silence of the room.
Life is a game, a challenge,
on that I must master to win.
Gain the points, find the ace,
beat the opponent,
And never, never lose your
poker face.
The Game gets easier as I play,
annd my hands fly over the smooth surfaces.
Every move is planned,
every tactic thought out.
I have become a master --
the game is me, I am the Game,
But as I look at my silent opponents,
I realize, I have become Solitaire.
