Egoic Desire To Serve

The desire to serve
Noble yet ego present
For feel good factor

Love is compassion
A truth we do not deny
If intent be pure

Purity is void
Presence identityless 
A humble conduit

Moon a reflector
Has beauty beyond measure
Lifeless without sun

Let us be watchful
Lest we fall in the abyss
Of dark delusion

Ego relentless 
Yet it dies in an instant
If we embrace love
