The Downward Curve

Enableability taken away 
in an instant, the way it was granted.
If we be a conduit, we should not sway,
there being no ego to be flaunted,
with no narrow thoughts, feeble and slanted.
We being oriented for expansion
are thus disconcerted by contraction.
However, it is the ego upset
having lost reason for celebration,
since pristine presence always stands erect.
