Desire Weighs a Tonne.

Desire weighs a tonne
It steals my mind
From awareness
Clouds my heart
From spaciousness
Hides what I'm trying to seek
And for the price of what?
Just a temporary amusement
A temporary relief
That later leaves me weak
And renders me withdrawn
From the purpose
To which I was born
To fulfill

But you can't fill it up
Your hunger for purpose
Will leave you starving
The more you look outside
The further you are from finding
A cure for the empty
Ailed by a life
That has become a commodity...

Indeed we are all one and the same
But it is our individual truths
That cast infinite unique spins on life's game
That is, when we allow our hearts to roll the dice
And animate these tangible walking frames
Across the board
Across the world
Unique, yet one and the same

The light within shines for everyone
Behind the mist of our doubts
But we need to polish the windows
For it to shine out
Trust the life
And look inside
To see a new world
Without the weight of want and need
But with the lightness of a flame
Nurtured to become a fire
- A vehicle for warmth
Compassion and love, minus the desire.
