Where I Have Sought Longing
A poem about longing and the divine by ED 6/15/22
I have longed for a longing
Like a turn at belonging
I have wanted a feeling
Like wanting to be free
Of this endless reeling
Beneath the willow tree
Where no one sees me
Because I cannot be
Where I am in the world
With one hand curled
On my chest and I see
In the mirror only He
Is the One of the Three
Whose love truly hurled
So far across the sea
The hatred I’d steal
From the skirts lightly twirled
By a hand strong and sweet
Touting love unreal
Then again I would feel
Strangely queasy which reveals
The longing for the longing
The inaction prolonging
Inevitable teases
From the One who pleases
All senses that one can feel.
