Ode to the Things We Deeply Desire

Don’t cling to it

Let it go and let it breathe.

Take steps towards it that feel of lightness 

As if you were walking on clouds.

Don’t be obsessed and possessive of the future

See the beauty of what’s here now.

Don’t be disappointed by your concrete expectations

Let it flow and mold itself in ways you never imagined.

Don’t harden every thought with it

Hold it loosely and lovingly in your mind.

Don’t fixate 

But remain focused on it.

Move it from your head

To your heart

And let it float there.

Let it go

But don’t give up.
