Almost But Not Quite

Thrown a lifeline To pull us ashore Arrogance declines The ego scores Water near freezing Not quite yet ice Latent heat transforming Matter in a trice Eons of conditioning Buried in the subconscious Gurus grace uplifting Makes ascension instantaneous Mere recognition not freedom It simply plots trajectory To enter into a Gods kingdom We need to rewrite our story Dare we? 01-August-2020

I like your poem very much! The way I interpret it is that some are lost in a frozen pond, thrown a lifeline, yet they refuse out of a ego. That we are given a choice - to "rewrite our story" or not. If that's not the meaning you intended - well it was the meaning I got. And I liked it! But I always did like somewhat ambiguous writing that allows me to put my own interpretations on it. Well done!
