Altered Ambitions
There was a time
I desired beauty
but slowly this body aged
After that
I hankered for wealth
yet money quickly passes away
Later
I aspired for wisdom
but recognised
foolishness as my fate
Now
I desire
not to desire
and simply ob
serve each breath
the emptiness of space
manifests again & again
when we sharpen our
rememberance
