Weary Mind

What betrays this mind, is not so many wishes,
But the love for life, full of ample treats,
No moment lost, as the mind is filled like the sea,
Where one drop is valued, just as the whole sea,

In times of real happiness, it lingers on tight,
Not knowing when it will come back and make it feel right,
But that happiness is soon lost, in the sea of sufferance,
Eternally this mind grieves; never has it heeded the simple advice,

Never think of the future that is full of grim choices,
But stay focused on a simple goal, and that is to love,
Show compassion and patience to those around you,
And you, my mind will forever be free.
