Apologies

10/28/09

There is much I've done

that comes up woefully short

for being an honorable demonstration

of a sacred human walking 

with beauty below and above,

in front, behind, plus within,

where now I feel humble,

able to see my shortcomings

or at least partly so,

realizing blindness is still present

which only time will uncover

yet it makes me attentive

more sensitive to others, curious,

as to what I'm missing

when judging from confident place

thinking I know the truth

about people, circumstances, and myself,

it feels good to expose

these aspects I've often defended

so walls of separation fall

and I can profess humanness,

my connection to all beings,

letting the ego slip away

to reveal, beyond spiritual witness,

shared essence with miraculous life

while embodying my unique form

rejoicing in mine and yours

embracing ourselves as brother, sister,

who offer apologies for trespasses.
