Desirelessness

8,8,8,8

by Rev. Paul Lachlan Peck

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.
