Self-Growth

Fulfillment through work-
is it such a crazy idea?
To create something worthwhile,
for the benefit of others
and the growth of yourself?

The Scales of Worth

House of mirrors this-

Glowing screen with drumbeat fingers,

Tapping of their own accord,

This life that’s not my own,

Nothing but this need to write

and be read-

Loved, revered, talked of

In blogs the other side of the world,

Across the mirrored hall of my mind,

This reflected light;

Refracted thoughts,

Nothing but a mote of dust,

To weigh the scales of worth.
