Desirelessness

There was a time when I would seek,
And pray for things of little worth;
When I would want to have a peek
At what the future held for mirth.
The things of matter wooed my yen,
These things of pleasure and desire;
And yet, when I would seek to gain,
These things would vaporize in fire.
The fire of Love which purifies
All false desires, all wanton aims;
The fire which blends and unifies
My thoughts with Perfect God again.
Desirelessness now holds my thought,
Since perfect man has everything;
This Allness of Perfection wrought
In purer motives, All must bring.
For wanting nothing is my goal,
Entire in everything I Am;
No longer cast upon the shoals
Of barren mortal mind’s blind sham.
There are no wants, no hopes, no needs,
For Perfect God or perfect man;
And every thought and word and deed,
In Spirit brings All Good again.
Desirelessness becomes my theme,
As I release the mortal quest;
For Love fulfills my every dream,
And Love restores my soul’s sweet rest.
