Life

Everyone wants to behold your beauty.

You present to us great cravings.

Yet this cravings gives us great pain.

In our quest to get, you deny us.

We came innocent  

but we have been shaped in you.

Now that which we call beautiful 

we abhor.

Indeed you are beautiful, 

only if we know how to steer our course.

If we miss it, you sting.

We long to see you, 

now we wish we never met you.
