my heart longs for another with its every beat

to belong to, warm up to. to understand another

every day that i wake my soul flutters in search for its mate
examining every being it encounters in hopes to discover the one

yet as it wanders its course, my heart begins to doubt
perhaps there is no other that will satisfy my heart's desires
perhaps my soul searches into an abyss full of hearts designed for others

but warmth beyond understanding calms me
a voice echoes songs of peace and assurance against the walls of my heart
my soul calms and is steady at the sound of this voice, recognizing something long forgotten
he calls me again, back to his feet

he breathes in me new life
and bathes me in his fountain of righteousness
