We must learn to live for more than
Ourselves. for what is there to serve
In oneself,

save for fleeting passions,
And exhaustable desire.

Would you sit simply on the seabed
As sand in darkness, only to be briefly
Stirred into life at the passing of greater things?

Only to fall to rest once again, in depths,
Light not can penetrate.

Save, let your light
Be a great light for those
Of whom are the light of your life,
And those of them, that be the light of theirs.
