Magnificent omnipresent mystery.
With a look of purpose that was groundless
Invoking roaming penetration
I realized the echoed abyss
In order that I might then
Taste and know your love
With the starkest of
certainty
Relentlessly long
Was my appetite.
Fostered
Through a famine
Created.
Gorging upon
External absence.
Vast banquet tables
Were set.
Replete with volume,
But devoid of substance.
Compulsive gratification
of
A soul-starved angst
Reigned supreme
Sick & tired
Of being
Sick & tired
I tentatively responded
To the waxing and waning
Call
Of a heart in exile
Rather extraordinary
To be a foreigner
In my own heart
A path presented
Comprised of archived traumas
Real & imagined
Day to day
Occurrences unfolded
In alignment with
A heart's covenant
Intent on healing
How vast the search
How fruitless the attempts
To resolve internal strife
Through external measures.
Guidance
&
Direction
Wisdom
&
Healing
Love Everlasting
No more
Than
A heartbeat away
But devoid of substance.
Compulsive gratification
of
A soul-starved angst
Reigned supreme
Sick & tired
Of being
Sick & tired
I tentatively responded
To the waxing and waning
Call
Of a heart in exile
Rather extraordinary
To be a foreigner
In my own heart
A path presented
Comprised of archived traumas
Real & imagined
Day to day
Occurrences unfolded
In alignment with
A heart's covenant
Intent on healing
How vast the search
How fruitless the attempts
To resolve internal strife
Through external measures.
Guidance
&
Direction
Wisdom
&
Healing
Love Everlasting
No more
Than
A heartbeat away

You capture the samsara wheel of the struggle for those whom seek outside themselves for such Love and are never fulfilled only to know that when we come into our heart truly can we ever then know the infiniteness of Love within and the seeking outwardly ceases so that from within out. Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing this beautiful prose. I honour you ~Lady Nenari, Princess of the Sea, Lady of Glencoe, Highlands Scotland <3 <3 <3 <3
