My hope for you

Poetry speaks to our minds and hearts and is meant to communicate more than the sum of its words. It is an apt expression of our walk with the Lord. I encourage you to forward this link to those you love. I pray this poetry leads you into reflection and prayer but I also want to start a conversation. You, too, have something to share with others-not only in person, but also here. Your experience is yours to give away to build up and learn from others in the Body of Christ. Share the word that you hear, the experiences you have lived. We are all part of the New Evangelization.If you also want to contact me by email, feel free: genefirn@yahoo.com

The Yearning

time lends itself to fathoms
even before its own end surrenders
earthly limits have eternal desires
revealing the longing for
something more than 'withouts'
appetites without lasting satisfaction
ends without barriers
even a beginning without an end
then without notice or regard
life impinges our assumptions
pushing questions into our consciousness
why’s douse the flame of un-reflective scurrying
pushing us beyond daily routines when
emptiness begins to fill us and
limitless tides of  needs
and desires keep recurring
without lasting fulfillment yet
are real and personal
promises planted Divinely in
our innate recesses
death’s finality and injustice
leave all seeking more than
life could possibly give
point to questions posed insistently
some finality to seeking unspoken
unwritten passions for a purpose
sense for the illogic of life
when did my time begin
not in the limits of sources known
but in the beyond
planted in my fibers
in depths beyond knowledge
how soon will seeking cease?
what will be left undone, unfulfilled?
is life destined to the constant slavery of circles?
nature yearns for super nature
being points to super Being
time to timeless
temporary love to everlasting ecstasy 
where my limitless longings
can find rest
in a never ending
joy beyond imagination wild
so meaning’s questions negate busyness
if listening is at all a value for
if all there is lays in sight
though beautiful
it fades just as winter comes and
takes the crown of colors to loss
the cries of today fade to whispers
when tomorrow dawns yesterday’s sleep
without a satisfactory ending while
caught in recurring dreams
finding our endings empty
we are most to be pitied
we ache to
live forever
find completion
for our longings
yearning beyond the
daily filling and emptying cycle of basics and passions to
find our true end beyond ourselves in the
hidden realms of our beginning
a Source for what is
for who I am and destined to become
a Creator yes but more above logic
beyond reason’s conclusions
where only revelation can enlighten that
the Supreme Being is our Abba Father
who Himself is revealed by
His Son the Savior whose
Self-sacrifice is our
initiation into a Reality inspired by 
seeking Union without end
a shared existence of evermore
dreams turning into a progression of
Passionate encounters melding into
an Eternity of Fulfillment
