To thine own self be true

 To thine own self be true of thought
 (Eternity a friend)
 And through oneself emotively
 Survive time to the end
  
 The end of what – to where; one asks
 Does it exist at all
 One looks on high – what’s there but air
 Before one stands enthralled
  
 See not for nought – the world creates
 The essence of resolve
 Deny destructive thoughts of doom
 (the sun retracts the cold)
  
 Cast aside – negate the dark
 A bright light casts a sky
 Of scenery – of blue delight
 One flaps one’s wings to fly
  
 Night dims the light internally
 With feelings one’s eyes shine
 To speak so others follow suit
 One lends oneself divine
  
 And builds a sense of ne’er again
 The first also the last
 And in the harbour one’s ship docks
 And there its anchor’s cast
  
 Enlighten spirits from their sleep
 (Awakened as to flow)
 Freely deigned - exemplified
 Release oneself and grow
