Sustenance

There is a deeply rooted need within my soul

A longing for something of creative sustenance

To fill the void created by the residing ache

That permeates throughout my being

I thirst for so much more than what is tangible

The ever encroaching desire and need

Wraps me in a thin, cloaked veil of longing

With no foreseeable end in sight

The universe laughs, taunts, and mocks me

Telling me my thirst may never be slaked

Nor shall my deep desires be quenched

Despite the many years I walk upon this earth

Oh let me see all I can see with eyes wide open

Whilst my heart is full & ready to embrace the beauty

Don’t make me wait for manifested dreams

But feed me hope with every breath I breathe

Pray, let me soar above the mountains

And partake of all I can to sustain my soul

As I embark upon the paths yet unknown

Until at long last, I take my final bow
