Desire Within Poem by Alison Smith

desire...its a nice word to hear....but it goes with craving...and my desire? the world under :) true

Like Victor Frankl wrote, our greatest desire is to rise above evil so that we can remain strong in any situation; even a concentration camp; where he made a choice not to be debased to the level of an aggressive animal living by the motto 'survival of the fittest'; but remained courteous and kept his dreams alive by compiling his book in his mind. The power of his imagination enabled him to survive deprivation by dreaming about his wife while suffering - he had the power to soar to the peak. Your poem is an excellent presentation of a positive philosophy; I appreciate it so much! Kind regards, Margaret.

My this is a good one....we have to look within to satisfy our own needs before we can be open to another...This is grand and look there's another Marcia [mar see a] beneath me here...Time difference and all I miss many of yours...it's so late for me now, trying to catch up from the weekend away.....and now peeked back at first page before signing out..Great poem as always from you ~~~love, marci.xo
