The old Historical Records state that
The ancients who had the nourishment
Of the world wished for nothing and
Therefore the entire world had enough.
They did nothing that should not be done
And all things were transformed by themselves;
Their stillness was abysmal and the people
Were all composed and moderate. . .
When the Oneness pervades all around,
All affairs and businesses are completed.
When the mind gets to be free from all aim,
Even sublime spirits submit without any saying.

The first step of doing is to realize all that is left undone.
Desire begins with wanting and ends realizing that we already have. Your poem is full of paradox, inspiring us to wonder and dig deeper.
