Myselfless
Of him myself speaks to myself
And burns myself with feeling faith,
Myself he moves to share myself,
He inspires myself and heals me.
Of Him myself speaks to myself
And burns myself with feeling faith,
Myself he moves to share myself,
My pain and benevolence agree.
Who was myself is not myself,
My miserable, dark and wild self,
My wounded, proud and mean self
Is dead as sin should be.
My perched on hope and beauty self,
My dancing sunlit soulself says to me
That to be selfless is also to be free.
