Barren Home of Fruitless Desire
Fulfilling the minimum obligations is easier
than striving to be your best when
it is deemed not good enough.
When the horizon is at a fixed distance,
you'll never reach. Rest and enjoy
the view provided to you.
Whether you man an oar boat over
that treacherous sea or sail first class
on a sleek ocean liner racing toward
a setting sun, you'll never arrive.
So, why not strive to take it all in,
then cast that gaze on the solemn ground
lingering beneath two planted feet
that one day will merge with earth.
Harvest with your eyes and feast on
the barren home of fruitless desire.
