Love Poem: Self-Love

Self-Love

Healthy self-love
Is a birthright divinely designed
To starve the lower self
The lower self
Is at the center of the world
The higher self
Is a vehicle into the world
The first is about material things
The second is about ultimate longings
Their difference is overwhelming.

Healthy self-love
Is the smoothest road
To the depth inside
To the  Milky High
To the power of the powerful
To the untapped power
Of the powerless
Powerfulness
Powerlessness
Abreast
From the same hidden breast.
