Desire

To live our life without desire To enter those days without a craving Having nothing to search for or acquire Would make our existence so depraving. To not having the want to need or search Or the passion to look for and then obtain We would be like the parrot upon its perch Only to look and watch, and then complain. We must have that aspiration and that need To fill our hunger and also our longing To make a wish and then plant that seed And then feel the passion and the belonging. We must live our life as if its our very last day With a hunger and want and a soul on fire And then gritting our teeth and do as we say And then live this day and life in only desire. Randy L.
