Desire is birthed innately,
struck deep in cell and blood,
pure appetite for living;
destined to be known.
In shiver of pure time,
the soul excites, becomes,
as life does shake its being;
Self made, the work is done.
In passing years and moments,
the surge does wilt at last,
turns limp through steady aging;
and so our time is past.
It's hanging on in there so far! A thought provoking poem indeed.
