"Serenity" [boomerang]

What hearts desire   minds can fail to grasp
    our emptiness were possibly endemic?
    I would not want in poetry   polemic
my voice were anyway   a broken rasp
my heart became (as well)   a busted clasp
    the Buddha mentioned   dukham as systemic?
    for poetry   serenity (not panic)
what hearts desire   minds can fail to grasp

dukham : suffering (e.g. the teaching sarvo dukham = "all is suffering")
