I Want...

I want....
two words that determine the course of our lives,
and set the rhythm and the pace of everything we do.

Life is like a double edged sword,
joy and sorrow its two faces,
and we see-saw from one end to another,
propelled by our desires.

As one goes slip-sliding from joy to sorrow to joy,
you realize that periods of euphoria are shortlived.
You delve deeper to discover why,
and all you see is a series of 'I wants'.

You pause to take stock,
when the 'I wants',
don't go the way you want them to.
It's then you realize,
that you aren't in charge!

Get back on the saddle
and watch your mind at work.
Desires like colorful bubbles
come and go,
and you discover freedom,
as you sit back and enjoy the show!
