SUCCESS

The abundance of wealth
the conquest of power
the glory of fame
the advantage of prestige
are these the awesome instruments to which
we measure Success

The climax of a dream
the plateau of accomplishment
the fulfillment of one’s greatest desire
the esteem for one’s own peace of mind
are these insufficient,
or do they measure any less

Or is there any greater tool
besides one’s conscious
for which to measure Success.
