Unseeking Seeker Poet Monchielle Stanza

Notes About The Poem

Bucket List

What’s on our bucket list?
If feral our desire,
which we cannot resist,
objects that we aspire,
displays cold heart, clenched fist.

What’s on our bucket list?
Fleeting flame and glory, 
labels us egoist,
makes not a great story,
never by true love kissed.

What’s on our bucket list?
Are we proud of our mind,
giving each point a twist,
head with heart misaligned,
that does kind touch resist?

What’s on our bucket list?
Oh, to be living light!
We but seek the bliss mist,
rapture by day and night,
sans need to so insist.

Joanna Daniel April 8, 2022 at 6:15 AM A deeply inspirational poem, US, we need to look beyond to the spiritual as you rightly proclaim:) Unseeking Seeker April 8, 2022 at 7:24 AM Yes. The Absolute is available to us at every moment, as Buddha proclaimed.
