Vain Ego
The towering tide in the sea
should not awe you by its height
This is mere effervescence
Rising and falling wearily
On the bosom of the foaming Sea.
The momentary peak of strength that it attains
By jumping out of its mass to reach the sky
Is as vainglorious and transitory As the Ego of his ‘I’.
