SELF-TRIALED UNAWARENESS: GUILTY AND FORGIVEN

It has been said that we must love others

As we love ourselves; loving each other

As does the Author of love in loving us all:-

Dwelling in the court of the inner sanctum

Of contemplation, 

The sage mind of jurisprudence charged my poor soul  

With abject neglect;

Not of cherished others, but of myself: collectively,

Me and I:-

(Thus be the entanglement of love of mind and heart)

Am I forced to take the fifth, lest I self-incriminate myself;

Subjecting the heart to become a pawn to the mind’s jury?

For so long—innocently—I’ve been guilty of backward love;

Self-love collecting filthy invisible dust on shelves of my heart:-

(In self-trial: The mind the jury; awareness, the loving judge)
