Modern Life

Life flows like river water
Suffering is the dry river bed
Teary eyes are the flooded river
Yet the water of life keeps flowing

If someone asks if I ever suffer
They learn I keep my distance
From desires and expectations
Desire is nothing but a thought  
This is entirely unnecessary
For water to continue to flow

Anger and envy is the product of competition
Imagine thirsty deer running behind the mirage
It traps unrealized hope 
and rob one of the colors of a peaceful life.
