What You Want Most

What you want most
is to hold the sun in your hands,
to feel its rays in your heart--
that melt away the half-forgotten images
that you once toiled over.

What you want most
is to taste the freshness
of the breeze
that swirls and spins around you,
freeing you of energies past
so that the fullness of this day can be received.

What you want most of all
is for the songbird
to appear
once again in your heart,
with its hope
—of that sound--
that falls upon your ear
and tells you
that life will go on.

And more wondrous delights will be known to you
than the old path
could ever have shown you.

So, have grace
