the course of desire

those who have chosen the course of desire

find that the road is never straight or plain

know with light heart it leads only to fire


some other soul might have been a high-flyer

grown absolute in wisdom and urbane

those who have chosen the course of desire


do not much better nor will reach much higher

than those who held to ordinary plane

know with light heart it leads only to fire


but still pursue the true vision entire

with all the sense that they join on campaign

those who have chosen the course of desire


the members all of a euphonious choir

whose voices form a music most arcane

know with light heart it leads only to fire


and yet they hurry and seem not to tire

each signal rushing to the hungry brain

those who have chosen the course of desire

know with light heart it leads only to fire
