Notes About The Poem

Lament Not

Lament not, oh worthy lama This life is but a dream Live in joy, free from fear stigma Things are not what they seem Childlike, given to play To rhythm divine sway Keeping ego at bay Be self-taught Lament not 13-December-2021 Quietus

"Keeping ego at bay" is the toughest. Your words are worthy of reading again and again. Congratulations on POTD!

Thank you, Ann! Keeping ego at bay is indeed difficult for as long as we continue to believe we are only this mind-body and not soul eternal
