Losing Power and Becoming Sane

Losing Power and Becoming Sane

how to remain sane when you lose power:   

as power slips away,

 some who once listened 

over who you held sway 

move away.
So what?

No-one hears what you say as it disappears

but you stay sane by not caring,
not throwing your weight around; 

by learning to listen, 
by accepting your limitations 
 observing how others try to wield power, 

are they kind and generous? or mean and thoughtless? 

When you are not in control of them, you can  see what they do, 

the effects of their actions and intentions.
