identity dissolve

Amidst so many
Solitary
Not so problematic as
A solemn pessimistic vision paints
Some people fear themselves, alone
They fear identity dissolve, perhaps
or treasure status, domination
Do No Harm
some wisdom states
and love each creature you encounter
Let each friendship form from
Heart's own voice
Be true to dedication, follow truth
You'll lose your youth, or have already
so don't fear to be
Minority of one
At times
You never really are
We follow stars
Into eternity
No need for popularity-- irrelevant.
