Plight and yearning for release: Poem

 Plight and yearning for release: Poem

A fading light, a whispered plea,

For desires to loosen, set me free.

The senses call, a vibrant hum,

But their fleeting pleasure soon is numb.

The body trap, a heavy chain,

The mind's harsh grip, a constant pain.

I see myself reflected there,

In form that shifts, beyond repair.

Each passing thought, a fragile lie,

Born of habit, drifting by.

A phantom self, I try to hold,

A story whispered, growing cold.

Release the flesh, release the mind,

Leave worldly echoes far behind.

To find the truth, serene and deep,

Where hidden grace, its promise keep.

May soul ascend, a truth revealed,

Where unity, forever sealed.
