His life

-
All round him, they strived higher and higher,
Acme the aim, the pinnacle their call;
While he too struggled, higher and higher,
With motive contrary, for the exhilirating fall.

All round him, were go-getting achievers,
Success for sure, whether short or long haul;
While he too succeeded, by standards his own,
Living moment to moment, in search of his call.

By standards his own, with motives contrary,
His life full of zest, stripped of banal;
They called it insane, he found it thrilling,
A different beat...by no means small.
