Self-Identity

Self-Identity

The large question mark

points to a wish

a longing to find

our real Identity..

Not the identity we found

in childhood years

which lingers for most..

 In years as children

we discover a self

separated and ready

for a life

with promise and color..

When this life sours

when we intuit

another identity 

seemingly out of reach

our path of discovery

need be continued..

Teachers and guides

are there for us

to pursue and search

for the Identity

we somehow know

is made of a

peace and happiness

not satisfied by worn 

childhood knowing..

A teacher's message

if heard correctly

will point to our

new Identity and

will also caution

against a pedestal 

for the teacher

with beliefs to anchor..

Almost home..

Waiting for that

morning resonance...
