Let me not presume
to have the self-importance
to get it wrong. To tell myself
“if only you see better,
and rightly understand,
then all will flourish —
if your life is blighted,
you need to work harder”

Let me not imagine,
in the face of the fullness
of everything,
that I have the power
to get it wrong.

It’s not in me —
Life will provide me
an answer of peace.
