When I am searching for what I do not have
I leave my comfort zone to seek shelter from unwanted greed
As the hunger for need shines upon me
It makes me immoderately hasty
And thee innumerable path to roam
Takes any enjoyment away
Days and evenings
Endless changes in height and depth
Like a bird beneath the flowing curves of a lawn
I’m seeking shelter from an undesired deed
In the darkest depth of my worries
As I swallow my unhappiness
As turbulent as sea
I spin in circles, like soundless waves lashed by a storm
Weeping
Motionless
Yet alive
I go in the deep place of my soul, seeking happiness
As I am sunken inside myself, sad and worried
Suddenly
The wings of my strength
The voice of my wisdom
Inner-light within me
Frantically flap to set me free

It’s your ‘strength’...
It’s your ‘wisdom’...
It’s that ‘inner-light within’ you that will set you free...
and ‘unwanted greed’ be damned!
An inspirational and thought provoking write!
Excellent!
