The gate has many locks
each a conundrum:
How to be unselfish
yet be affirmed,
How to be disciplined
but not constrained,
How to discern
but not condemn,
To be encouraged
but not inflated
And yet, as I behold the grander view
and as my visage brightens in its glow
The gate resolves to shadow,
I go through
and know myself therein
a little more.
