OPPOSITES



 

 



 

Vanity is such a hindrance
stopping me from breathing easy.
Like a vine entwining my being
feeding on my energy,
it thrives on applause,
puts out tendrils and blooms.
It sickens at the slightest chill
infecting my cells with unease.
 

I pray for humility.
not mock humility,
not mere pretension,
but a connection, a flowing
from the Self - the sum
of what we receive
from the earth, from our kin
from the visible and the invisible.
