Famine

famine
longing
aching

infinity it seems
of wanting more
needing more

only darkness
and needing

suddenly
there is hope
there is a change

i long to embrace fully
to consume all that i have longed for

knowing it is not time
knowing i must relax
and rest
trust
rejoice
be thankful
for now

for now
i rejoice
i am grateful for the gift in you
and will not consume

hoping and praying
that this is not temporary
hoping it will last

never to famine again
