We’re all a little selfish, my conclusion on reflect For what we get through life and day we echo by effect Then context it to feelings of our damage or repair So we ourselves relate and judge the joy or felt despair We’re conscious of the ever voice that talks within our mind And often we don’t sanction truce so betterment to find But everything comes back to us, to satisfy our need It must be what is born within, a fragment of our seed The world could change a million times but leave us just the same Reflecting on our inner self, unconscious to the game Seeing just the up close life, cocooned in what surrounds One speck of life’s rebellion, seeing only inner bounds We’re different, I concede that, but in truth one must know That when the chips are really down the inner self does show And often it can scare you of what your thoughts might be And often we will not admit, so no one else can see For judgment is a thing we hate; more how we judge ourselves As more we tend the right the wrong, the more one inner delves For somehow on a pedestal we’d like ourselves to be But most of us will never say, while others never see So what I think I’m saying, be kinder to oneself For rights and wrongs will come and go each day Let’s not become that lonely book of selfness on the shelf Let’s sanction peace to rid the doubt and help us find the way |

It must be what is born within, a fragment of our seed Dear Rick thank you for your inner reflections. Yes, we must overcome ego and just be .... love. Beauty is to create harmony between mind and heart. Love, Margherita |

Amen to these thoughts, Rick. You are so right. "Let’s sanction peace to rid the doubt and help us find the way." I believe that to find the way, we need to get out of the way. Great write. ~K~ |

"The world could change a million times but leave us just the same" An interesting thought to ponder here, Rick. |

This is wonderfully pensive and deeply spiritual. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
