What would a word be
Without a definition?
Something to give it meaning;
Comprehensible, useful, beautiful.
(Who am I without God?)
That hunger, ache, that emptiness
Relentlessly I try to plug,
fill
seal
But I cannot find the words to define it.
Numb it with liquor?
(Every bottle has its bottom)
Fill it with things?
(There are not enough Mercedes Benz on this earth.)
A good inhale of THC?
(Every high has its low.)
That boy?
(He can take me to 10, but my curfew is at 11.)
No matter what I throw myself into
There is no satisfaction.
And so I delve;
I dig and weep
Uproot and search
And the cries of my heart
are answered.
Adonai, Elohim, Father of Lights, Champion of my heart;
Jesus.
His name; coded into my very heart-call,
His words only could fill that void
His is the power to define,
And not only to define, but to re-define.
So great is my need that
Nothing held back
I throw myself into Him
Recklessly.
I am consumed.
Hunger has such a sweet source.
