Hark! The ego, a looming presence.
Watch the weather change,
A break in the clouds.

A brief glimpse of reality
Rays of the sun
Reflections on raindrops
resist gravity

Unable to maintain
Grasping at nothingness
What’s done is done
The sky has spoken

Back to the ground
Absorbed by Ego
It consumes all we do
As a raging inferno

Watch the weather change
Torrential rains
Global flood
Drown out the ego

Retrieve the olive branch,
sudden realization!
This is reality.
Off in the distance…

Clouds darken
Fear the horizon
