Look Not At Me


Look not at me

Riddled with deep flaws

Aching wounds

Weakness and failure

-

Is there something special you see

In my work?

My art?

My life?

-

It is not me you are drawn to

It is the Light, Beauty, & Goodness

That I so relentlessly seek

-

Unable to hold them within my broken self

Each day I seek them again

Panting, thirsting, needing

-

In pursuit of the glimmer on the horizon

Aware of my own emptiness

I press on

-

Do not idolize this hungry man

Do not cast him aside for his imperfections

Look past him to the horizon and see what he sees

-

Recklessly abandon all and join the pursuit

The Light is calling us onward.
