DESIRES
BETTY PAUL
They say being without desires
Is the only way to happiness
This seemed a very negative path
A myth not to be taken
seriously.
So like everyone, I too had
My desires, though never very strong,
I too wanted many things
Some I got and some I didn’t.
But both I found equally
Empty, fulfilled and unfulfilled
Desires had the same dead taste
Now, desiring nothing any longer
I find I am happy with everything.
