Two hours past midnight, Vaping meek puffs of Lake Tahoe OG, Perusing shadow poetry In the insomniac silence there’s Humility, itself is voiceless, Isolated as any deserted isle like a rogue lone wolf uneasy among the bison herd A beta Charlie uncertain Lacking know how, of course The dog should be humble, Instead of caterwauling distant sorrows Pining at mother moon, Smelling the crisp morning fog For father’s wisdom Commands of a great alpha. Drowsy as twilight streams through The woods, The lone wolf falls to sleep Hungry Beside the sequoia tree, A deeper lesson in survival. There’s a humility Found in silence, Ever be so humbled as A lone Sleeping wolf So hungry... like a poet for starlight, Still unwritten a life One becomes... By each humorous act Get what you give, I am humbled to have Begun to live. Loud is pride, from windows inside, Make a wish Dream A Dream in silence... oh humility... Oh Hubris...
