Mystery

I want more of what I cannot get enough of There is this longing Yearning Craving Wanting Depth and void that seem to be continually empty No matter how hard I try I feel like I am missing something Something exciting Yet cannot figure it out Something so tasteful and sweet Yet I cannot have a taste of Something so powerful Seemingly going to be wonderful Yet, so hard to figure For how long shall I this longing last? For how long shall I crave this mystery? Or you will forever remain a mystery? What exactly Are you? ©Oluwasola Elisha - ABSOL

Mystery. This poem is relatable. There are certain moments in life when we kinda feel empty and void. Like, something is missing. Something inexplicable. But we go on and keep believing, anyway. Also, the rhetorical questions raised in the latter part of the poem are insightful, and could serve as grounds for reflection and discovery. A brilliant one. Kudos.
