Desire was the fire that burned the body and possessed the mind
Desire was the siren call of forbidden pleasure
that will consume the will and pull you into darkness
Desire was a feast, a thirst for understanding and a devouring
of knowledge or a yearning to speak and connect spirit to spirit
Desire was the North Star we followed, dotting the darkness with light.

Lisa, “Desire was the North Star we followed” feels like such a perfect closing — it leaves me with this sense of being guided even through the pull of its fire.
