Humility

Here stands Humility,
Forever caught between her warring siblings, Pride, and Doubt.
Humility is the sister in the middle, our peace maker.
She is the humble tether, our aspiration to be better.
I had spent decades too fearful to draw.
Dancing with Doubt had me sure I would fail all that I loved,
Until last year, I grasped the hands of someone new,
I didn't know who she was, but I had nothing left to lose.
So I pulled Humility close,
and she revealed to me her book of hope.
It contained every melancholy moment in my history.
A novel of sorrow, wherein I was my own worst enemy.
I then fell upon pages of the present,
Its words within, like soothing whispers to my ear:
A heart heavy with dread,
Need not be a burden of lead.
Even mournful memories are made sweet,
When you can build beauty out of the bleak.
Saturating those pages with tears of relief,
Humility is the one who showed me,
It doesn't matter what I lack in self-belief,
To find my way back to art,
All I had to do, was pick up a pencil and start.
So, she guided me while I tentatively drew my first rose,
And one year later,
We're filling blank pages with the destiny we chose.
Through Humility, I found my way back to Art.
And nothing will ever tear us apart.
Among these pages we now play.
Exploring wild worlds of wonder and contrast.
Every picture, a portal.
Within our book of hope,
Is a universe, infinite, and immortal.
