here I stand ..
naked, humble and afraid
aware of my mortality
where once I knew
life was forever
now I see
the inevitability of never
and yet ...
with my soul opened afresh
I see the glory of humankind
aswell as the futility
of wanton greed
the false measure
of petty need
here I am
no axe to grind
at peace within my mind
I now understand that
giving love is free
yet only received
if one can but see
