The Cycle of Want




Are we at peace
when we get what we’ve asked for,
or do we continue to see
life
for what we want
and not what we have?

~

Are we ever content,
one day to the next,
to bask
simply
in the gaze
of He who gives good things?

~

We want yesterday
when today should suffice
and long
for tomorrow
so we might yearn
for the day wasted.
