Hi Daniel, Desire is many times similar to having high hopes. Many times these dreams never reach reality. Nonetheless the twist of a whim may bring serendipity. Deposing of the natural flow of the soul was never something I have tried because being true to your soul always brings wonders. Wonderfully written, Paul

hey, daniel! glad to see a new posting from you. i find this poem interesting to read, am sure, i think, of what you're communicating in the second stanza, but unsure of the first. with it the opening to " the wasteland" comes to mind and the second of the four noble truths. i'm convinced desire per se is neutral, that its objects distinguish it as bad or good for us. hoping you're well in all ways, glen

Body is also a shelter for a soul not just a burden. All comes in the right time. I wish you good health and your body to be a good servant for you!

you sir have brilliantly translated the stages of life and expressly stated desire has no end it lives on till the rieveira does end then no further life must final find a bend to end
