963 Seeking Poem by V F

Why do I yearn?
what do I seek?
whom?
is it my heart which is empty?
or my soul which yearns to be complete?
I cannot explain for I do not understand
yet it remains
these yearnings cannot be wished away
why do I feel like the ocean?
huge, vast, immense,
teeming with life……yet empty
always in search of the shore
to steady me……
waiting for that deluge to fill me
overwhelm me
and perhaps make me complete?
