What My Heart Needs Poem by ObiGod Chidi CC

WHAT MY HEART NEEDS
Rejoice my heart in your Creator
Feast on that joy unspeakable
That intoxicates like wine,
Take pleasure is His treasures,
It's your first and ultimate needs.


In the midst of turbulence
People can't understand why
You are at peace, singing like a bird
On the branches of a shivering tree
In the midst of a raging storm.



Give my heart and withhold not,
Don't expect to get it back,
Yet in doing so you are fattened
With men's benevolence running over.


My heart, you need to love
Even if it's not returned;
Let it lubricate you like honey,
For the heart that loves is ever
Beating, alive and flourishing.


I won't talk about what you don't need
For with what you have you are full;
No space for the negatives and fears.
There's no place for doubt
When you're decorated with faith,
There's no room fot sorrow
As you beat to the rhythm of gladness.
