I am in the wilderness
My will and happiness drying up
A worm languishing in the hot arid sun
My strength depleting, and I'm all alone
I am on fire,
A star in the night sky
Radiant, glistening, sustaining men with my greatness
I can do no wrong
But like an interloper in the dark
He has come to plunder my radiance and expose my weakness
He has come to knock me out of the sky
To save me from myself
I was drunk on my own greatness when he came to my aid
A loving father to remind me, I am not like them
The stars, radiant and glistening, bright without imperfection
Who am I but weak and dependent, a babe in need of rest
