Self: An Understanding

To be self less, You can either be without self, Or consider yourself less, To be selfish, You can either be sort of you, Or somewhat someone else. There is a broad picture, Of the roads we must take, A vivacious wandering, An endless steppe Heaven, From which we may feel our descent, But want our ascension. Selflessness, selfishness, Conquer or become? Acquire or divulge? You can only find true peace, When you walk in the daylight, As you do in the night time.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
