I Need
It’s raining
There’s a storm outside
but inside I’m raging
fierce yet calm.
I was leaden
heavy and dragging
confused and hurting
hungry and in want
in need
of something.
I
Need
Satisfaction
I
Need
Peace of mind
I
Need
Restoration
A renewal of joy
a cool glass of collected thoughts
and complete content.
I pray and
can only say
I need something:
a purpose.
Please
I need something.
and then like thunder
like an answer to a prayer
he speaks to me
and tells me that the thing I need
is something I gotta look for.
It’s deep down
and I gotta dig for it.
Dig until I get blisters
and until my hands become strong.
I have to sew first
before I reap from the dream
I am trying to unearth.
As I dig deeper
I find what I truly need
is to build.
I realize I have use
these hands to build.
He says,
Let your eyes feed
what your soul is missing
Let your hands mold
what your mind is hungry for
and
trust yourself.
And that is what I plan to do.
