NEED, PART TWO

O, this gnawing,

nagging need,

this aching, burning, heavy

desire

for flow.

for touch.

for flesh.

Long and grueling days at work

followed by lonely, lost nights

and weekends all too short.

Hearing and reading about

the people who are in the flow

and in the moment.

I am aflame with envy

and electric with craving

to have their experience.

Diving to the bottom of the ocean

and going even further with

them

than I would in my own company.

Wanting to be at Esalen,

Macchu Picchu,

The Great Barrier Reef.

Wherever they are,

where their spirits sing

and their wishes are fulfilled

is now where I need,

O God I need,

to be,

Now.
