The world wanders in search of success
wondering what it is, how to attain it.
Is a successful day achieved by average,
or perhaps its beginning or end?
What about a successful life -
by the height of its glorious acme
or by the sum of its worst moments?
And by whom will judgment be passed?
By you, by my neighbor,
by God, by my children?
Whoever, I hope not by me -
such a careful task it must be
to weigh smiles of sunflowers
and rolls of thunder, to ask
the wind and stars what
tales they’ve witnessed.
