After much of the day has passed -
I set aside a time to indulge in my thoughts.
Giving myself a chance, a little each day -
to realize the desires of my heart.
I don't know which wish, in a single moment,
I will leave unfulfilled as I depart from this world.
Like a child sitting down to play with many toys -
unable to complete any game at once, similarly -
are the desires for fulfilling countless wishes.
A temporary respite from the struggles -
of a mechanical life, a declaration of freedom,
desire like butterfly's wings, spreading out,
a gentle, step-by-step attainment of -
nourishment for the soul.
The honey that is made, is not from the
nectar of just one flower.
Similarly, countless desires build their -
nests in the chambers of the mind.
Like raindrops, desires are created -
and after a fleeting journey, they crash-
upon the earth, meeting their eternal end.
The sweetness of the journey towards -
its destination is greater than the -
attainment of the destination itself!
