Reverence

From "Panes of the Heart," 2009

It's hard to come by
In this frenetic life

So many people are
Perpetually sad
And unable
To relieve themselves
Of the misery
Of the constant chaos

How can they revere
Anyone in this life?
Esteem for oneself
So hard to grasp
Though the divine is in all
People find a way to abhor it

How can they revere anyone 
If they hate inside?
