Narcissis and Me

I bought a gift
and wrapped it with care,
and gave it to
Myself.

I was so pleased
with
Myself.
How kind,
how thoughtful,
to receive this...
and from Me,
Myself.

Then my gift
dissolved into a mirror.
I looked and saw
Myself,
and loved him fervently.

But then
Myself
dissolved
into a horror
with no honor
or valor
or virtue.

I smashed the mirror
and saw in its place a river
of others.

I jumped in
and lost
Myself

and found myself
in a torrent of Life,
not my own,
but yet
my true home.
