Good poem. Very happy to revisit this poem after a long time. Great feeling!

A spark in life is what all i can say about desires. Your poem is a gem.

Desire is such a big thing and the older I become, the clearer it becomes to me that the desire to be kind and good, is perhaps the one bringing us closest to true happiness

Love this stanza.... amazing how simple words when cleverly used, combine to form great verse. We cannot aspire to that which is already dead, And there is no solace in delusion; We should save the present for future memories; Thus, to remember we had a life we lived.
