Being a Light To Others

Fear, caused by mere inferiority complex, Puts, in many relationships, abundant checks; Like touch-me-not, faces shrink, all at a sudden, As though, the entire universe, on me, fallen...! Superiority complex, is a crime great, That governs me, often, as though predestined fate; And keeps me aloof from existential neighbors, As though they're awful universal law-breakers...! How could I, herein, be light to the others, then? When, by complexes, chain of soul-bond is broken? Doesn't this light of lights that makes me so content, Wish, that in all, this light, in abundant, descend...? Leaving all complexes, I must love one and all! Here on earth, no one, amidst beings, great or small! I need to give heed, to those seek my love and care, Mercies I have received, profusely, I must share...! Carrying my crosses, is, indeed, my duty, Helping others, to carry theirs, is true beauty; Talk things, I must, to those hard at heart, politely, What I want to teach all, I must do contritely...! Need the gold, ever tell others, that, I am gold? Isn't a rose a rose, even when it's not told? If the light of lights, abides in me in fullness, From this fullness will flow fullness toward goodness...! 15 March 2022
