Yearning Soul

My soul
Yearns
For the heat
Of the summer sun
Like the hymns
We used to sing
Sunday afternoons
Perhaps it questions
What blessings
Will the future
Bring?

My soul
Yearns
Persistently searching for deeper meaning
Like a mothers’ love
Filled with treats
On Friday nights
Special occasion
Cooking secrets cherished
Perhaps it questions
What blessings
Can I
This world give

My soul
Yearns
Without reason
Perhaps it questions
Spirituality nurtured inside
Duality battled around
Life ticking every minute
Like the push and pull of the tide
Unique moments fostered
Many benedictions
Already
Gathered
