Subject: Greatness

Lost in myself,
I cling to the Velcro Ground
afraid of the winds.
Granted charge of my control,
I am comfortable here.
Brought up by the truths of
life being great and good,
I take hold and
boast as much as I can.

Congested winds of knowledge manipulate my thought.
Each one aiming to pierce my judgment;
my grip, to rip me from what I have.
With the wisdom the world gives me, I often scoff at
The frequencies that vibrate the Velcro Ground—
often giving me another reason
to clench to my comfortable floor.

Then

The stillness speaks peacefully clear
pruning the entangled mess of my fear.
A simple thunder of wind calms me
seeping its way to my fingers…relaxing me--
releasing the tensions that
so hold my ear to the wayward wind,
finally letting go of what’s comfortable.

Losing site of myself
(as the world conditioned me to believe myself to be)
I am but a simple breath
of this thundering stillness
becoming wholly complete
as I finish tHis journey.
I present the least of these
as more important than me—
making myself the least.
