The Goal of my Heart

I strive to see the world around me through the lens of romantic metaphor, if you're too blind to see the beauty in the world around you what value can you assign to your own place in it? Notes and melodies can never share in harmony unless they are first aware of the greater song they are a part of. Understanding the song for me is the first step on the path to joining in and hopefully someday bringing beauty to it.

Someday I'd like to be able to look back and see the beauty I've left in my wake, but until then I'll be listening for the echoes of god in the sunset and chasing his footprints amongst life's suffering and pain.

If only I had the same longing as the trees as they cast the world aside and stretch their arms up to reach you with all their strength, or if I had the passion of the oceans trying over and over to run up to meet you, no matter how many times they slide back down the beach. They persevere and try again with total abandon.

If I could only feel love the way the sun bathes the earth below in its warm embrace maybe I would understand a piece of who you are, just another fragment of the puzzle.

I desire to know you, through any means I have, using every aspect of my senses and every process of my understanding.

I desire to be at peace, to be suspended in safety and to be alone with you.
