Arrested Desires

Mortals
Though mortals
Not symbols of immortal
Why then
Those desires so deeply embedded
With firmly entwined roots
He cannot uproot
Follows there course
To conquer those heights
Which unconquered lie
And then
That evitable fall
Of which he never thought
A thud
Of a huge tree
Disturbing the surroundings that be

Arrested desires
Achieving to meet the needs.
Never falls
And if ever falls
Harmony restores.
