stages

Resist

the urge of perfection has ceased

in constant better

or different

or somewhat unique. 

Ingest

Here I saw myself in witness

and had to humble

those years it took to learn

what over and over has been taught

that by looking over you'll just stumble

that you should be your only concern

Digest

arrogance has led too far

I thought too often that I needed more spark

false illusions, own prophecies, 

compose images of false belief

Invest

forgiveness is a key 

unlock it - thrive

reach for it and dream

what you are is all you are

not all of value can be seen

understand the beauty of life.
