The Tell

desires

needs

drive our inner being

more than
imagination’s fantasies

longing for contentment

pleads for mercy

upon deaf ears

leaving us wandering in a
desert searching for water to
fully satisfy our thirst
born to yearn

starving for
meaning and purpose

only finds emptiness 

in fleeting satisfactions

more- always more-

never enough

with no end in sight

can this be all there is?

are we only to live and die

always yearning to
fill our cravings

sometimes so compulsive

yet at other times

noble and breathtaking

finally to be condemned to an
endless slavery of
seeking but never finding
only in the end to discover that

infinite desire requires
infinite fulfillment

conceived to embrace Love

beyond human measurement

experiencing true satisfaction 

can only be realized

in Perfection
never imperfection

never in things

but only in Another
a Personal entwining

where Eternal Love is
forever shared

the Thou of I and Thou

the sign of Whom is 
embedded in my soul

planted there at my conception
a Mystery alluded to by

Revelation’s Tell:

restlessness of heart
for the One who is

beyond all expectations

the fulfillment of all desires
it is He who becons me to
knock and it will be opened

seek and I will find that
He was always there
waiting for me to
say yes and find true
Rest in Him

Reflection/Discussion:

-How does "tells" in poker compare to the "tell" in human nature?

-Are there any other "tells" of the Eternal One in human nature? 

-How would you describe them? 

-How could you engage someone in a conversation about the "tell" of the infinite?
