lacewing
binds its feet to the ceiling
an opulent plastered revealing
of this limpet will
a tenacious cling to the possibility
as you shrug and release
the moonlit kiss
grazing my hip in the tangle
you work an angle
in the bare bulb din within
a waterfall of revenue
to the dozing retinue
as i wait for you
to wake from sleep
and enter deep
.
When people underappreciate and underestimate you, they are revealing the place in themselves where humanity’s communal lack of self-love manifests. Cling tenaciously to your own self-worth and a Force that Loves you into existence in each moment. Worthiness is embedded in the skin of your Soul. Give it to another but don’t look for a return. Your love remains, even if you have to walk away.

After all these years, I am beginning to see that self-investment is not “selfish”. It all depends on your intention. I hope your move is going well.🦋

Agreed, if we don’t devote time to the self we extinguish our potential to move others
