Self-Realization
“Realization of the Self” by Blake Hughes
it must have passed him by
that moment of greatness
a lifetime of waiting
for something astonishing
something that never would happen
how sad is that lifetime unlived
so much waste in the waiting
the pitiful longing
for some nonexistent arcane
remote source of self-worth
all the time unacquainted
with manifest wherewithal
held in his own two good hands
all the genuine greatness
no more than a matter of mind
an authentic assertion of will
whose reward guarantees
a deep quiet contentment
thank you for sharing my poem with your readers
