Humility

Phoenix Montoya on Dec 29, 2011

Heart’s inner desire.

A virtue that I seek, humility.

It strives in each man’s heart,

yet, with dilemma and uncertainty –

such kindness’ missing part.

Holiness, a rare find – humility.

One may often forget,

or choose to neglect his humanity.

Still, in the end – regret.

Great challenge for the soul, humility.

Once found, lost evermore.

A fool as I, boast for this sanctity,

for my heart remains sore.

Desiring for humility in me.

Alas, to seal my lips,

or hush one’s arrogance, I fail to see,

as I long for this piece.
