Egolessness

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Show me...
… nothing at all.

No grand illusions,
No gleaming crown.

No need for a pedestal,
No peak to reach, 
and no yearning for height.

Just breathe,
Let go.

The universe doesn't care about brilliance.
It whispers secrets to the wind.
The stars shine on their own.

My heart...
An empty chamber.

No throne,
No king.
Just a soft,
whispering love.

No alpha, no omega.
Just a journey.
The path unfurling,
Footprints fading...

Egoless.
Free.

Reminds me of Zero sutra of Buddhist doctrine. Nice one.
