The Yearner

written by Elizabeth

There is a place deep inside me

where the yearner lives

She appears daily, reminding me

of my needs, wants and desires.

Some days strong and clouds my judgement,

Other days a whisper that allows me to

dream, hope and wait patiently.

 

Of all the places inside of me the Yearner

occupies the largest part, lieing close

i believe, near my heart.

The days when the Yearner speaks loudly

are the days when i feel weakest

and search for my strength.

 

It may take a lifetime to satisfy the Yearner,

It may be around the corner.

It may never be satisfied.

 

i know that i must learn the ways of the

Yearner, listen to what is said,

how to take what is needed

and put the rest to bed.

 

i can find some completeness in doing such

but i also know that the

Yearner will not rest until she has found

what is desired most

Him.
