We travel our life our emotions on show
Many tug then to and fro
But what of the desire within
How do we reach that pool?

The bodies writhe to and fro
Their want is apparent
But what of the desire within
How is that expressed?

We find true love
Our outer desires are nourished
But what of the desire within
How is that fed?

What are our deepest wants?
They are greater than that of the body
Finding a soul mate will that help?
What is our greatest desire?

The strength to stand and be heard
The ability to rise above the evil
The power to soar to the peak
That is our desire within........
