LINES OF THOUGHT © 2013
Despite being human, bold and often proud,
And many times in this world, thinking me unbowed,
There lies within me a side few can see,
A profound silence where humility can be.
In the words I cast, I may lose myself in pride,
But deep within, I hold the purest truth inside.
In the stillness of nights, in solitary thought,
I am small before life, fragile, and caught.
The boldness I show is a fleeting disguise,
For deep down I know I’m dust that time defies.
And in each breath, in the modesty of the soul,
I find the humility that brings me back to whole.
