Ego

His voice cracks in the thunder’s peal My ego failed me in life’s each deal Never did see what the other saw Too blind to notice my own flaw! In the candlelight his face wears a gloom Two tremulous shadows darken the room Forever I felt the world is for me My viewpoints matter only! Like a deluge pours the thunderous rain In deafening din rattling windowpane Focused only me only tried to get Grope in void now when egos abate! Flickers a grave loss in his dulled eyes Unshackled from self its obdurate disguise Over the ruins of ego is born in me the belief The reward is not in the getting but lies in all our give!
