what we desire is not what we may find
trees seem to wilt in the increasing heat
joy and exhaustion war in the normal mind
what's done is done and that's the only bind
that holds us here beside the glaring street
what we desire is not what we may find
the fruit's been eaten to its very rind
it was so very tempting cool and sweet
joy and exhaustion war in the normal mind
the task is over the work is left behind
it's time to soak my body and my feet
what we desire is not what we may find
the light's enthralling if you're so inclined
but there are things you might not want to meet
joy and exhaustion war in the normal mind
the weight of duties makes the best unkind
time moves in patterns that are rarely fleet
what we desire is not what we may find
joy and exhaustion war in the normal mind

a glaring tropic light
