Unwanted Enigma

A Poem

Unwanted Enigma

In the cavity of departed desire,
Mind unburdened,  a still lake forms,
Content. able to take any shape.

A freedom found under surrender. 
Liberties not bred from thrustings 
Of acquisition, but in yielding breath. 

Acceptance air, belonging  
To the non-seeking.
Oh what an envious power 

Potential in the wantless, 
In the complete. Carnal
Hands, swaying palms, 

Finger-painting with water.
The art is the emptiness, a canvas blank.
Pleading for nothing, finding immunity 

From persuasion.  A proof for peace,
Solving for, an inert state.  Any debt 
Is reconciled from past & future.
   
That we exist here, made whole, is all we...
After the climax of resolve, a snag:

And the Spirit testifies- 
Oh wise one, under not, embers glow.
A fire put out, but barely.
For plenty is known about the joy of enough,
but little is shared of the yearning
for freedom from and of,
                                             the wanting.
