Desire

Adrift on the bosom of this cold earth
Like a motherless child of forgotten birth
Constantly seeking
Endlessly speaking
Striving, in others, to find my worth.

A nameless longing probes the soul
A fierce desire to be made whole
A magnet pull
To be made full
The mark it seems of this life's goal.

Always, always, the beckoning hand -
"Come deeper into My Promised Land.
Walking free
And finding in Me
All the fullness that I have planned."
