please, humility

release the veil of insecurity and watch yourself soar. 
watch the river run into oceans and speak the stories of lore. 
build a nation in your psyche, 
building blocks of grace.
listen to the thundering rune, 
and the undertow of blame. 
do not get pulled back
far into the tide, rise free like the birds. 
humility, in a gesture, gives ignorance no more words.
