A beating so fast.
A thump so loud --- and clear.
There is a longing.
A longing unquenchable.
A thirst insatiable, unbearable.
Then, I opened The Book.
Flipped through the pages.
Embraced the sea. Smelled the salt.
Tasted the wine. Ran after Thee.
I now know how to calm this beating, this thump so loud --- and clear.
Now I see. Now I find. Now I hope.
There is still a beating.
A beating so beautiful.
A thump still loud and clear.
Yet, gone is the longing.
The longing unquenchable.
The thirst insatiable, unbearable.
Now replaced with a wanting.
A need to know Thee.
The One and Only. The Alpha; the Omega.
The Giver of Life. The Taker of Breath.
So beautiful, magnificent. Only worthy of praise, worship --- and psalms.
Now I see. Now I find. Now I hope.
