Diving For Joy

We have

expectations

some are unreasonable

that go beyond our normal means

setting goals that are unachievable

causing a great disappointment

killing self confidence

ruining what

we have

Wanting

disappointed

for lack of obtaining

those things we were not meant to have

things that would only bring disappointment

people need a satisfied heart

why do we choose to live

disappointed

wanting

Of life

becoming hard

why look outside ourselves

the pain comes from wrongful desire

not being satisfied with what we have

wanting things we have no need of

always looking for more

is that the spice

of life

The spice

real happiness

does not come from our toys

yes they bring joy for the moment

but we tire of toys as they become old

yet we still look there for our joy

it is within our hearts

that we will find

the spice

Dive in

the waters fine

like the submariner

we must dive deep into ourselves

if we wish to find true and lasting joy

that which is outside of ourselves

can leave without warning

protect you joy

dive in
