LONGING

For so many years now
There are so many things 
I've been longing for 
A yearning desire
Very unquenchable 
Salivating for liberation
Steadily craving for absolute freedom.

I've been aching 
For unconditional love 
Eagerly and restlessly 
Pining and suffering
For absolute happiness 
Hopefully attainable someday.

Hope realized leads 
To peace internalized
I'm longing for the impossible 
I want to do whatever none had
Things beyond the imagination of men
A fantasy of ecstasy in the struggle 
I am longing for heaven here on earth.
