77. My ego and my soul

```

My ego needs,

My soul has.

My ego tries,

My soul does.

My ego knows the problem that is,

My soul becomes the answer that is.

I am not alone;

Within my unlit self

My ego, my naked death.

I am not alone;

Within my snow-white heart

My soul and my Spirit's flame.

```
