The Emptiness
THE EMPTINESS
I yearn;
For a feeling of belonging,
To be seen as an equal,
Liked and accepted just as I am.
I need someone in whom to confide and
know that I will neither be judged for being
less than perfect nor have my confidence betrayed.
I need a friend.
I pine;
I want to be seen for who and what I really am,
And not be judged for it,
But accepted in spite of it.
I need to feel loved.
I hunger;
For a sense of oneness with another,
To be able to love and be loved in return,
To trust and be trusted,
And to know these feelings are well founded.
I need a mate, a soul mate.
It hurts to reach out in this darkness,
And find no one reaching back.
It's frightening to be alone.
But Wait!
I felt --- Something.
Soft, Warm, Gentle.
I heard a faint sound.
A quiet call,
Someone knows I'm here!
Someone knows my name!
I reach out once more.
Someone grasped my hand,
with such gentle strength and compassioon,
Such quiet reassurance.
I peered into the darkness and saw a single,
tiny star shining in the distance.
The more I leaned toward it the brighter it got,
Until it's light fillled the universe.
I searched for the source of it's light.
Then I saw it, The Source.
It was Him.
He is The Light.
He is The Source.
He is Warmth, Love, Acceptance, Shelter, Providence,
Power, Grace and More.
He is all I have ever needed.
He is my Savior.
He is God's Only Begotten Son.
He is Jesus.
