Vain Search

stryka1966 on Nov 23, 2011

On the futility of searching in the wrong place…

Searching…

unsure why

inside longing

deep heart cry

~~~~~~~

Who am I ?

Whence do I come ?

What’s my purpose ?

Time here – how long ?

~~~~~~~

Elusive answers

impossible to find

when looking in wrong places

groping, like one blind

~~~~~~~

Ignoring truth ‘revealed’

it’s obvious to me

there are really none so blind

as those who will not see.

A beautiful piece. I wonder why we are always seem to be searching for what we haven’t got when we have so much already.

I think St Augustine\’s words spring to mind, Christine: \”God, you have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you\”…

Awesome as always Alec. I guess it’s human nature to always look for that something more, and as you said the only rest there is, is in the Lord’s hands.

We cannot find answers if we look in the wrong place. It would be a vain search indeed.

very well done alec…those who search always run the risk of finding less than what they are searching for
