The Innocence of Love of Self...

CATEGORY

life

Views: 174

 

 

Dwelling in the court

of the inner-sanctum

of contemplation,

 

sage mind of jurisprudence

charged my heart

with abject neglect;

 

not of cherished others,

but of myself:

collectively, me and I.

 

It is written that

we must love others

as we love ourselves;

 

furthermore, that we

should love each other

as the Author of love has.

 

Can the mind

be greater than

the heart?

 

Or am I forced to take

the fifth, lest I

self incriminate myself;

 

subjecting the heart

to becoming a pawn

in the jury of mind.

 

For so long, in innocence,

I’ve been guilty

of backwards love

 

leaving self-love

collecting dust

of the shelf of self.

 

Me, myself, and I

have been for so long,

strangers to each other;

 

each giving unto others

that love God has sanctioned

that we should give our self.

 

To err is human; to forgive,

divine.  Are not me, myself, and I

not worthy of earthly divinity?

 

Forgive me, self; forgive me…

little did I know…self love

needs no defense;

 

neither does self-love

needs acquittal

for being guilty of purpose:

 

Loving the who I am; loving

who I’ve always been; loving

who I’ll always be.

 

Welcome home, you;

me, myself, and I

have dearly missed you.
