Unseeking Seeker Poet Rondeau

Notes About The Poem

Ego Pride Rise

Ego pride rise, we behold in surprise 
Filled with lies, bubble yet does not capsize 
Fed by thought, spiralling in narrow slots
Shaky hubris of consciousness, fear fraught
When we cease to weigh and size, ego dies

Voice of conscience stifled, weary soul sighs
Earth entity’s antics, gently decries
Floundering despot, origin forgot
Ego pride rise

Discerning eye within, does truth apprise
Revealing Gods path, through life’s lows and highs
Tragic bondage to desires ego brought
In web of our making, we are thus caught
High time we recognise, as do monks wise
Ego pride rise

Sally Eslinger June 1, 2021 at 7:30 AM A LARGE theme you express and tackle. This I think you have truly well penned. I liked the rhyming, a natural feel to it. An unwanted topic, but so needed. Hugs Unseeking Seeker June 1, 2021 at 7:42 AM Happy you enjoyed, Sally!
