Flesh worn and satiated desires: <br />wandering is seeing things, <br />as were centuries ago. <br />Who has "nothing" ponders, <br />is a "thing" sufficient for desires? <br />Safe from the cold or under a tree <br />in hot blazing sun. Freedom from want <br />alas the body needs. <br />Live in ancient times or compete <br />in modernity, " Mindful meditation" or "let go." <br />Freedom from lies and embrace the truth. <br />The Fire Sermon tells all! <br />What if the child is left alone? <br />Suckling breast and in sleep. <br />The Wanting Spirit still searches the truth. <br /> <br />Jan 23,2011 <br />Peshawar<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wanting-spirit/
