My ego and I
A bitter battle of will
Unending and unyielding
Both determined to find weakness in the opponent's defence
Both searching for any sign of fatigue
But my ego never tires
It never sleeps
While at times my walls grow thin
My resolve wavers
My light dims
Just a little
But in these moments
As in every moment
You are always there
When I start to slip
You remind me of the gift that the battle holds
The glorious mysterious treasure
That becomes more and more clear
With each confrontation
For with every collision
That my ego and I have
My heart is purified and cleansed
And through this process
I am able to see more clearly
To understand more deeply
To love more sincerely
And to shine Your light more truly
To a world that is desperate
To gaze upon your beauty
