"no more than this..."

"To want 
what I have,
and take 
what I am
given
with grace..."
- D. Henley


i want no more
than
this...
 
and
no list
follows
of
this 
and that,
if only 
thens,
and sometime
whens,

of wants made 
needs, 
and needs
not 
needed...
only wanted.

I want no
more
of that

i've had 
enough

i have 
enough

so, 
this is
what I want:

to want
no more...

to be at peace
with what is on my
empty
plate

grateful
for the plate
itself that
holds
my hope
my prayer
my peace

contentment

to be satisfied with
all that
is,

and nothing
more,

and
nothing less

only
this



"...for
this
I pray"
~ ibid.
