This poem is titled The Destination.

The destination,

Will you let us prepare for your arrival or will you come at a random hour?

The timeline of our being should not be dictated by your arrival,

Sooner or later.

The anticipation of the destination would be removed if we were to arrive before we left.

To know that we're actually already living a second time.

Giving more than we receive.

Being grateful for what is half full.

Don't look for it to be perfect or insist on it be fixed.

Your heart should remain full.

Give some,

Take some.

That it is now or never.

Don't wait.

Don't hold your breath.

This moment is all we have,

Aaru.

When I wrote this poem,

The thoughts that I had in mind was we're always chasing or waiting for our destination to arrive.

And as a result,

We may be putting off things in that anticipation.

But what if we think that we're already arrived at the destination that we were waiting for?

Would that change the way we do things?

I believe it will.

You can try that for yourself.

Aaru,

Stay blessed.
