the effervescent dream of longing for more

it makes my insides bubble like champagne

but burst like balloons after a birthday party

that longing is what drives the soul

drives the soul to understand

understand more about who they could become

and who they don't want to be

understand who they want to be with

and who will leave them behind

the thought of loneliness

drives a human insane

the insanity of wanting

wanting to be found

to be loved

loved by something, someone

but never truly knowing who

who that person or thing is

that longing inside us

it drives us mad

knowing that we won't find it

until we turn it to rest

rest to peace

and peace to God

that God satisfies the hungriest desires

desires that eat us alive

until we're dead

the effervescent dream of longing

a longing so sweet it bubbles like champagne

but pops like a balloon after a birthday party

a longing that can only be fulfilled

when we search and find

the only right answer
