Know thyself,
My loving friend.
You are a complicated
Chemical compound
Whose very equation is complex,
A mixture of brains and brawn,
Heart and soul and spirit,
Love and sex,
So knowing you is sometimes hard for me,
But so beautifully intriguing
And so worthwhile.

But please understand,
Knowing yourself
Is even more difficult
Than possibly we comprehend
At the moment,
Because if knowing you is hard for me
You may not see your lovely forest
For all your lovely trees.

But you are so worth knowing,
My loving friend,
And there is a mighty kingdom
Full of glorious treasure
Within you.

And so my chant
To me, to you,
A mantra
That we will ever be true to ourselves,
And that we will know ourselves,
Know ourselves.
