AMBITION

I asked to be like the sky

that had been raining all night

and in the morning it remained whole.

I asked to be like the river

that flows around the clock and does not dry up,

but hurries on its way.

I asked to be like the wind that blows

in the streets and squares, in cities and countries,

and whistles behind me.

I asked to be like the mountain

that has stood firm for centuries -

carries forests, rivers, meadows, birds ...

And I realized - ambition moves the world,

but overly ambitious ones harm harmony.

God created everything right.

And I am who I should be.
