does a flower ever wish to ‘become’?
to be beautiful
does the sun ever ‘want’ to shine?
to shed its glow
does a lion ever ‘acquire’ strength?
to rule the jungle
the fool I am
in every word
in every feeling
in every thought
trying to become
what I already am
wanting to possess
what lies ever in hand
attempting to gain
what exists in my nature

Yes, but yesterday smolt had to run to the sea, today to make today’s arduous trek back upsteam there to die so that tomorrow’s salmon has a chance to be . . . Existence is hard work! Blessings . . .
Of course…no doubt
So true and yet there is a place for strengthening our muscles through practice
Yes practice for certain and a regular one.
Flowers, the sun, a lion – know contentment. Lack thereof seems only to be a human trait, and always seems to leave us grasping for ‘more’. Excellent poem.
Thanks so much!
