I pulled a wishbone
from my breast
from my breast
to rid me of desire
An act of desire itself
cannot put out that fire
Wanting not to want
Trying to not try
Seeking not to seek
Longing to not long
Seeking freedom
is its own cage
Learn to just Be
Open and free
Wow, that was really poignant. Well done.

I liked this a lot, Eric. The last stanza is chock full of wisdom. Even freedom can be restricting.
