Why are we here

in a single word: desire
objects for which we aspire
this is the cause of rebirth
that’s why we are here on earth

now, we are not body-mind
we are spirit misaligned 
with the truth impulse of God
known when we give love our nod

shifting into the vast void
we’re not then by thoughts decoyed
whence breaking down every wall
one with God, we are the all
