Swirling

In the swirl

of self

doubt

damaged

self
trust

opposed by

the subtle

"I'm better than..."

thoughts

(like gliding fish

in the

dim

neuro currents)

there lives

the desire

to be loved

not for being
"better than"

(nor ridiculed

and ignored

for being

"less than")

but
for

dancing
in the
reflection

of self
love

emanating

a radiance

that defines

itself

rather than
through

acceptance
or
rejection

(the vast
communication
of the reflection)

but that
persists

from

self
generation

of all
it
seeks

weaving

a

miraculous
matrix

where our

hearts
meet.
