My Pride

My pride hangs a limb not dried
It still drips tears I cannot hide
And though the hide is tough to feel
It would be soft beneath the peel

The leach is subtle in its pull
It must have its three bags full
And will not weigh the salt of tear
But only the endears adhere

It strips you down to common core
Till nothings left but dust and straw
And you are blown about in weaves
To play upon the dance of leaves

It is the strange of changes range
The estrange of rearrange
The multiples infinity
Or close to that vicinity

And till your pride is dried fitful
There will not be those three bags wool

Sy, you are a very wise man, and this was penned to perfection. Thank you for writing this one and sharing it. Don't think there was ever a poet that didn't have to deal with pride and ego.
