Success Comments

It will be great encouragement and strength If maintained on same wavelength

You can swim against rising waves With resolute action ways may pave

It makes very great difference? If you fail to draw correct inference

What amounts to failure or success? When you fail to have full access

What amounts to failure or success? When you fail to have full access

The last stanza is the most revealing here. Peace and wholeness of being are more important than all the travails associated with success. A few points about success: there are often expectations brought to bear once we have succeeded, and we're often afraid we may not meet those expectations. Moreover, successes often incite envy, and there's always someone more successful than you. They aren't permanent either. Although I don't understand many lines here (because they're too abstract) , I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the poem as a whole. Please read my new piece 'Dante and His Three Beatrices', if time allows.
