Lifelike

Success
Is like
Floating on your back
In a tide pool
On a sunny day in summer
Failure
Is like plunging into
The icy depths of the sea
Gasping and struggling
To get out.
Life
is a wave
From crest to trough
Until it finally crashes
Striking the shores
Seeping into the sand
And back into that great big ocean
Again
And Again
And
Again.
