Abandon the wayward ego

Cravings of lower mind repulse ~ Follow only the truth impulse ~ quote by poet Ego but serves our body-mind But we’re not this form, we’re not this Who we are is love, light and bliss Pursuit of lust makes us unkind Let not feral instincts prevail If we choose love, we will not fail Why do we wander like the blind Embrace one and all, friend and foe Repay now debts of love we owe Exit oh hermit, ego’s bind Focus on growth of soul alone With mindfulness, consciousness hone Let’s be with our conscience aligned We heed it when our heart has thawed Know dear child, it’s the voice of God Ego but serves our body-mind Pursuit of lust makes us unkind Why do we wander like the blind Exit oh hermit, ego’s bind Let’s be with our conscience aligned

What be the thin dividing lines between bossy, emphatic, affirmative, assertive, pedantic and so on, as interpreted by a conditioned mind?

Strangely, for some reason, I only started employing her poetry form after she crossed over.

Well-crafted with message and in form, Seeker. Connie is terribly missed. I haven't written one in her Constanza form in far too long.
