Awakening

Sentient birth bequeaths…

A baby’s cry,
As sound of growing expression.

Ambition,
As the quintessential slippery slope.

Competition,
As the dice roll of seduction.

War,
As an avoidable aberration.

Jealousy,
As emotion’s self-loathing servitude.

Respect,
As a key to the heart.

Love,

As a state of being.

Beauty,
As an epiphany beyond expression.

Compassion,

As learned kindness of heart.

Awakening

As enlightenment’s gift worthy of passing on.
