If you would become a person, perfect yourself.
Lean into the wind and take your measure.
Would you be human? Then throttle the elf
that holds you prisoner to pride and pleasure.
If you would become a person, perfect yourself.
The tantrums of infancy no longer serve.
Nor the duplicities of youth. Your power
lies in opening to wisdom. Preserve
only the spirit of your finest hour.
If you would become a person, perfect yourself.
