As a philosopher and metaphysician, exploring the Ego is very familiar territory. Poetry is a great tool in this adventure, this discovery, this help and recovery. It's easy to be Ego's victim until the light is shone upon it...
Dark Angel, my Ego!
You
⎯born with the birth of the flesh
Born
⎯into the womb of your parents’
Minds
⎯your generation’s
Dream
— your world’s
psychology
Dark Angel, Ego
⎯thank you for coming
For giving me dark
⎯for contrast
to the light
Dark Angel, Ego!
Sacred
⎯infinite
Tool
Blessings Be Upon You
⎯for offering me
The Choice
⎯a Way
To Define
Who I Am
Without you
Who would I be?
Dark Angel, Ego!
because of you I experience
Peace
⎯of mind
because of you I experience
what I am not
because of you I experience
the lie of death
the lie of loneliness
the lie of someone else’s truth
Who would I be without you?
⎯the definer of ages
companion to the light
the revolver
denier
changer
confuser
consultant
omniscent
Perveyor
of Light
Dark Angel
Ego!
Hear Me now:
I AM is here
Rest in ME
We have experienced
Fear
Mortality
Pain
—
Lonliness
— all of these
We have known
Together
Dark Angel
Ego!
Hear Me now:
I AM is here
you were never alone
never apart
you have never died
nor will you ever
Hear Me now:
Rest in Me
⎯for
I AM You
⎯and
have always been
HERE
