Now I have nothing

In my arrogance
     I thought I had wisdom.

In my pride
     I thought I had faith.

In my vanity,
     I thought I had love for you.

Now I see these things do not avail me
     because I saw them as mine.

Now I stand before your gate;
     the begging bowl is empty.

Now there is nothing but you.

K.A.
