As John stood with two of his disciples Jesus passed.
John stared at him and said there is the lamb of God.
And what would we do if we were asked.
Even if by his side we trod.

Why do we measure ourselves against others.
Could we not just feel part of the same whole.
We wrap ourselves in these jealous tethers.
And dig ourselves deeper in an anxious hole.

Can we not just look at others as we look at a sunset.
Marvelling at its beauty and timelessness.
Not trying to be by it won or beset.
Not pursued by restlessness.

When in the night sky we marvel at Venus.
We do not say it is less or greater than us.

……..

Looking at others
We should sunset staring
Not just comparing
