In Which Small Creatures Crawl

  
With time, after time, success
and failure blend into
a warm tide pool 
in which small creatures
crawl. "That's all?"
can be asked, rhetorically,
of both success and failure
and even doing just all right. 

Asking it just might be a sign 
of spiritual growth or of
something less grandiose,
like relaxing or looking 
outward, or earned indifference
to worldly weights and standards.
