when you divorce from that which compels you
--the tethers of desire--
you will then be left quiet.
First standing in the hollows of the nothing
that you thought was all that you sought--
all that you ventured to fill yourself with--
and you will not find one breath there to sustain you.
And finally, you will know freedom
Where the rushes of all the life kept waiting
--just beyond the walls of your wanting--
are unbridled and they take you
and you will surrender
because you will then know
that THIS is what you have always wanted
