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
