The Elusive One

I’ve got it!
It slips through my fingers.
I’ve got it!
It runs away.
I’ve got it!
It fades into my memories.

Vain desires.
A vain dream of vain desires.

How little it lasts!
And how much it hurts to lose it!
Back to the beginning.
The same thing again?
How many times now?

Fragile desires.
Fragile attempts.
Fragile dreams.

How many times now?
How much longer must I cry?

Forget them.
Appreciate instead.
Forget them.
Value instead.

Dream that you stopped dreaming.
Dream that you embrace.
Dream that you stopped searching.
Dream that you have.

Dreams come.
Dreams go.
Fleeting they are.

Love the day instead.
Love the night instead.

So much peace!
They are behind me now.
So much freedom!
I have left them behind.

So much light!
There are no debts left to repay.

Dream that you stopped dreaming.
Dream that you came to forgive.
Dream that you came to accept.
Dream that you came to give freely.

So much peace!
At last, I can rest.
