I long for...

I long to live:

For a gentle embrace,

And for Gods good grace.

 

I long to die:

For Heaven is where I am bound,

And in this World, no hope, I have found.

 

I long to be surprised:

From a kiss on the cheek,

From another night not so meek.

 

I long to feel:

The heartbeat of my love,

Like the fluttering wings of a dove.

 

I long to face:

Every fear, every dream,

I’ve yet to start my next scheme.

 

I long to love:

To feel the cool hand of another in mine,

To know I’m not alone, another time.

 

I long to be happy:

To find solace in my work,

To find meaning amongst life’s murk.

 

Life is a longing:

A primal desire of seeking, and finding,

To find belonging, and perhaps meaning.

I’m happier knowing we all long for the same things,

I’m happier knowing we all long for something, better…
