To Lose Oneself

Two ways there are
to lose oneself
Leaving naught behind
 
to throw oneself into one's work
til one has no time for aught else
 
or to give oneself, wholly, lovingly
devoted to the pleasure and benefit of another
 
or yet perhaps they are the same
and to lose one self one must find
Obsession
 
yet one seems empty, dim, and frail
the other's pale reflection.
