I Murdered My Ego

In the dark of the night, death came calling, propelling me through a tunnel of light! My life on review, with myself judging, comprehending now, through spherical sight, that on aligning with love, soul shines bright! ‘Shed ego, even if it be murder’, was counsel I received from the elder. Back through the tunnel, I did as was told, vaporising desire in realms upper. Murder of ego, destiny foretold! 27-January-2021 Murder in the tunnel poetry contest

Thanks Sunshine! Perhaps not judgment but yes, aligning self with voice of conscience

Thanks David! The ego pursues us David, even in the void of no-thingness, when we are one with oneness! To be egoless is to merge with God, in an unbroken continuum. Not there yet, by a far cry! :)

Thank you, Newton! Unexpected for me ... to be truthful, when 34/35 entries were received and 2-3 days passed without filling up the last slot, I decided to enter so as to help get the contest closed! I know the feeling, since I’ve floated a few contests myself!

Probably the last entry! I thought it was out of context, as in being unconventional. That’s why I had not entered it. Happy I did and that you enjoyed! Thanks for the placement!

Different tunnel, unconventional murder! That’s why I didn’t enter it in the contest :)
