A Ode on Success

A Ode on Success

?We're on a quest, we seek success,

to live in bliss, to feel the zest

that flows when living as ourselves

engaging what is on our shelves.


When we were young we did not know

the ways our lives would ebb and flow.

Much older now we'd like to shout

“We've finally got it figured out!”


But we cannot.. No... who can say

which way their life might turn today.

It could go left... or take a right

drop off a cliff... soar out of sight,


Yet, this we know and know so well

there is a heaven, and a hell

we've been in both, found one the best

the other one's our acid test.
