everyone an inner nature owns,
the essence of their very being,
the root of tendencies, -the core
and heart of every thought and deed.

starting place of who we truly are,
foundation to what we become.
decided ever not by distant star,
but by our bent!  - how we respond

in part, that nature will anon decide.
altho the more dynamic beings build
adding to their native state of mind,
it's boundary lines to seek beyond;

and finding other measure to fulfill,
expand their given soul's perimeter.
until at one at last with that great will
and to their humbler state returned.
