A conversation with the Inner Self, about the Inner Self . . .

The inner self seeks admiration for its deeds,

Yet is assured without the applause,

Because some things need to be done for their own sake;

The inner self wants love more than most things,

But knows that great love takes time to find,

And is worthwhile in the end;

The inner self doesn’t wish to be alone,

Yet it finds satisfaction and utility in silence,

For those times are when it has its best thoughts;

The inner self can ponder,

And put certain delusions from the mind,

As they are not worth dwelling on;

The inner self is afraid to die,

But realizes that death is inevitable,

And will be at peace should it arrive.
