Our ego sits on an unmade bed of its forgotten lost love.
Love knows this already, yet our ego is slow to show it.
Love respects ego enough to leave it still, all left alone.
Ego learns to respect love, now showing it's now grown.

Creation reserves politeness in its own saddened self.
Ego learns politeness from folding itself not just all away.
Ego cries out again to be itself, but is not really being itself.
Ego needs to fit back into place within love's waiting heart.

Ego must return to its own place preserved in God's love.
Not staying as it is, all alone in its own right to only fight.
The might of our ego is evaporated & only all gone away,
when our ego meets love, by walking softly in love's way.

Our ego is the reflection of who we think that we now are.
Growing more inwardly, we are reflecting more outwardly.
Ego is not the master, but it's within the master's shadow.
Bringing both together reveals the light lost in our darkness.

Ego masquerades as us, enthralled having a ball in it all.
Love reminds our ego to recall, it's not the first in the stall.
How can I reach past my ego, to live from only true love?
Wanting rewards is our ego. Move towards un-wanting love.
