Insatiable Soul
INSATIABLE SOUL
I couldn’t get enough of what?
Honestly I really do not know
Yet my soul yearns…
My soul hungers…
My soul thirst…
But for what in particular?
Honestly I really do not know.
This yearning…
Coiled deeply from my belly
Causing my throat to patch dryly
Making me to hunger and thirst…
But for what in particular?
Honestly, I really do not know.
I have it all!
The world at my feet
A global name
I have achieved all
I have conquered all
Or so I thought!
Yet…
I keep drowning in the depth of loneliness
I keep drowning in the ocean of depression
My life has no meaning
My life has no direction
My soul is restless
Yet I have it all
Or so I thought!
Oh you insatiable soul!
I gave you everything
The world at your feet
Why trouble me still,
Let me be…
That I might be at peace!
But…
All my soul ever wanted,
Was fellowship.
As the deer pants for water
So my soul longs for God
Waiting eagerly and anxiously
To dwell daily in His presence
Surrounded by His grlory.
With the passing of time…
He yearns and thirst
For the fountain of life!
Yet , I brutally denied my soul…
Of the pleasure of fellowship.
No wonder…
I keep chasing shadows
I keep chasing vanity
Yet I found no peace
I remain unrest…
Until I bring my insatiable soul
To drink from the fountain of life…
There I live to thirst no more.
