DESIRE
Tracing back my steps
I look behind at those uncertain days
Days of careless movement and senseless living
Held by the clutches of vanity and self indulgence.

I realized for good
That life is all around me
Breathing and living
Subtle in its own existence.

I might have grown
I might have seen
But still I haven't dissolved
Into an ocean of unknown depth.

Deeds that cycle around the self
Thoughts pertaining to myself
What is it that i yearn?
For its something that has no relevance to me.

Hearing daily verses of worry
Bother me just like a fairy
Vanishing like a night spell
Into the infinite abyss of my own dwell.

Things that mean
Things that matter
With me nowhere in the picture
But certainly with me it will do.

Carry the world around
For its much more than my own little abode
Caressing a shield within me
A sword of my own actions.

Let go, leave everything
And see for what it truly is
For with my little hands
I might make a change.
