A Mere Guest
So I was a stranger all along.
A stranger afterall.
I was just passing visitor.
And I thought I was all in all.
I thought I owned it all
When all the while I was just a mere guest
Not even a tenant.
What a jest!
But I spent a lot for maintenance
I paid with time and sacrifice
To keep this property well.
I raelly thought it was mine.
I did many clean ups and up grades
But now I know
I was just a mere guest.
Incredible.
I thought this was my own body
Sound and strong and very tangible
Whereas I am really nothing you know.
Just a breath.
