My Ego Stole My Weakened Wings...

I was smoothly gliding

A lovely flight that

Winds suddenly turned

Furious and strong

And I remembered the lesson

“Adapt and Lie low;
Let the winds settle”
But my ego hidden
Under my wings

Prevailed and I embarked

Upon a futile flight

Against the winds

As the energies depleted

My ego stole

My weakened wings

And thankfully flew away,

I am now growing

New wings quietly
Under the happy

Care of my inner being

I see my sky turning bluer

As the clouds melt..

****

“Adapt and lie low”

Words come gliding from skies, fall

Just ahead of me..
