take away the desire through achievement or rejection
and you destroy the forward.
if I make the summitI must quick to find the next
or I will sink and dielike the hunters in the ocean.
when I grasp the girlwhose shape I have dwelled on
her shape will remainfor a while, and I will grow comfortable
in my ownership, and lust againfor other mountains.
It must be so.
We are built for heaven, and meant to feel discontent here.
There is a peak beyond our lives, that can always be leaned on in the greatest humiliation.
Although I wonder if we can exist content.
The lack of desiring what we do not have
chokes time of its air and halts. It cannot walk.
It makes me frightened of heaven.
