A longing we know, but may not initially recognize.
***
Deep down, an unmet desire
Returning to what we hold dear
A restlessness ever gnawing
Uncertainty feeding our fear.
❤️
We chase countless unspoken needs
We’re taught what we should want
The career, picket fence, accolades
Our pursuit endless, if only to flaunt.
❤️
For decades we think
This one will bring us relief
Climbing life’s upward ladder
Our joy, oh so brief.
❤️
One day we wake up to realize
The pursuit was such a waste
Daily rushing and striving
Only brought needless haste.
❤️
This one precious life
A short series of days
Each a new beginning
As we focus on Praise.
❤️
When viewed from Above
We have a new story to tell
Being a blessing to others
Allows peace to indwell.
❤️
We can run from our essence
No matter how far we roam
A day arrives when we must
Begin our Journey, our path back
Home.
❤️
