I’ve learned, at last, humble derives from Greek
meaning earth. As basic as life gets. I’ve
learned humility, for me, means to seek
reality, become aware I thrive
in its power, accept how masks stay sealed
to my face until this one higher source
chooses to remove them. When it’s revealed
me to myself, I pray, Keep me on course
through this day and night. Sober actions, please.
Then I try to pay attention to all
I think, feel, and say; do I move with ease
through gifted air as honest soul, or fall
back on fear, try to suck another’s breath
away, assuring relationship’s death.
