If
your poetry or your life progresses not at the pace you'd wish, don't
give up. Success requires a journey, not a destination. Success or
Failure are both transitory !!!!

pitching in,
we feel sometimes
our efforts
cannot grapple well
with what
seems stone wall hard
our tortured
form of hell
keeping us
away from subsequent
progress
toward that lofty goal
travel through an uncharted maze
can sometimes stop us cold
travel through an uncharted maze
can sometimes stop us cold
desire defines success within
our memories
we closely cherish
some will, some won't stay satisfied
without a distinct determined course
some will, some won't stay satisfied
without a distinct determined course
a hill climbed to the top, or not
depends upon our energy reserves
depends upon our energy reserves
to reach for
goals inclusive
within that
which makes us certain
a goal so far
out of our reach
can define
with truest blessing
why we're
meant to struggle hard
without pure
second guessing
those fierce
winds in our face
where
opposition makes a stand
sometimes
blow power into our sails
as motivation
for our plans
achievement,
not a given thing
that stated
mission simply sets
us on our
path of progress
to maybe get
there, maybe crash
success is
but a fleeting thing
won't mean
much for long
our lives
have meaning only
while we
search for what's beyond
