rummage intensely
into your bottomless
hover above the yawn
put there to conceal
what you need to find
sink into it, below yawn
and seek out integrity
and truth buried deep
your integrity and truth
the whole sum of you
recognize and accept
allow the real you to
mingle with your soul
soul we all have even
though aren't religious
inner spirits is our id
making contact with
your bottomless gives
you sincerity and gold
as you come away from
the yawn with new-found
sets of thought principle
you are now more ready
for the everyday zingers
which attack and sting
you have armor anew
for you have rummaged
intensely and found the
complete and bolder you

Wonderful thought, dear Jerry! Indeed it is a question of awareness.

Most beautifully rendered reflections. Yawn is a constant threat and shouldn't find us weak.
