Getting what you want

August 10, 2023

It may,

Or may not,

Be obvious

That the chance

Of getting,

What you want,

Is very slim,

Very slim indeed.

Even if you

Seem to get

What you want,

That's the end

Of it..

A momentary

Satisfaction,

Such a fleeting

Rest from longing..

Then..

You no longer

Want it..

You have it!

You don't want

What you have!

It's over!

You can

Only want

What you

Don't have.

The need for

Fulfilment

Is insatiable

For the one

Who feels

Incomplete.

You don't

Want this,

This is

Already,

And absolutely

Unattainable.

The most

Simple peace

Is that there

Is no one

To be

Incomplete,

Or attain

Completion.

With or without

Wanting.
