Breathe Waiting Poem by Rick Elpers

Having been trapped in a physical
Universe for sometime now 
Wrestling, suffering love and the lack of it.
I can't help but notice the dicotomy between
desire natural and spiritual as it is known 
Cannot be won from either angle
Only endured through the heart
Buddha says desire is the cause of all suffering,
so how does one reconcile
In this modern world where it's foundation is desire?
Wait for death? Wait for miracles?
Or just wait?  
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
