The Longing

Deep within my soul is a longing.

Sometimes I feel the energy of it

trying to break free;

jumping out of my skin;

grabbing on to the closest passer-by

and shouting,

"do you feel it too?"

I know it's not just me.

When I look into your face,

your eyes

and the water that flows within them,

I see myself

looking back

as if I were inside.

I know then that you understand.

You get it.

We are here together to recognize the longing.

And to let it out.

Let it be.

Free it from its hold.

Follow it.

Allow it to bring us home,

where it will rest.

It will rest.

And then disappear.

Or maybe it becomes something else.

I say to myself,

"follow the longing.

Surely it knows the way."
