The Longing

The longing

to know the deepest

kind of peace

led to questions

and surrenders.

It led to an expanded

view of life

and pain

and love.

It led to my own

deepest heart

and to the quiet prayer

that reached back —

recognized

and honored at last

as my own true

voice.

Love your short, graceful lines … I wrote a song titled The Longing and it’s playing on my site now

  ❤ Thank you. I will check it out. I pull words from my little poem notes for the title. I erased and put it back. I like how it matched your song title.
