Acceptance Shatters Truths

Is the Pain-Truth there to stay?
or is the animate
ever changing, perishing
being and becoming?

Gripe is a definite
that vacillates between
desire in its becoming
and fulfillment perishing.

Journeys never end
The seas and deserts
though pass in a measure
I and they remain.

Breath empties to fresh gasp
as hankering and gratification.
each in its stance
challenge my Peace.
