My Lacking

I laughed and the world was silent For it seemed the joke was me I wished to be a comfort Yet, it was not meant to be I stood upon the broadest shoulders and still in the end I felt quite short I couldn't see past lonely mountains What goodly news could I report? Those things I saw off in the distance Raced towards me with a blinding speed I dreamt of how they'd satisfy me Yet sadly they did not meet my need Within broken mind, I searched for justice The lady outpaced by quite a bit She said "If you really want to catch me, You have to do oh so much more than sit!" I chose to climb, the highest of mountains Surveyed the majestic valleys below Expected I'd be warmed by the sunshine But Instead, I felt the fridgid winds blow I shifted my gaze towards the heavens Wondered deep down, why I felt all alone As I sat cross legged I tried to listen Felt a deep aching within tired bone My greatest lacking was understanding Until God's Mercy allowed me to cry Temporary would lead to forever The cycles of life connected to why So my tears flowed into rivers Down the tall mountain into the sea It seems, I was always connected Yes, the whole world was crying with me
