All we require

Life’s inflicted many a scar From God’s light, we’ve drifted afar Desire begets fear, fear desire Love and light is all we require We drift through life, as though we’re blind Shifting goalposts befuddle mind We’re caught up in ego’s quagmire Love and light is all we require Milestones attained have left soul stained Trapped in desires, we’re by lust chained We’ve toiled all our life, now we tire Love and light is all we require Within heart rages a great fire Love and light is all we require

Exactly. Desires mirror fears and fears, desire, both rooted in attachment to body-mind, which is transient.

You have certainly included all the things that have shaped my life Seeker, I do feel the fire inside on occasions but mostly when listening to music or writing poems, I will keep searching for the light, and anything else it may bring, excellenty penned, cheers David
