A Gentle Stirring

A Gentle Stirring

There is a gentle stirring inside our soul.
A search for contentment.
The stirring is not discriminatory,
for it digs itself deep into the very thing
that makes us live.
Creeping through those dark places unknown
even to ourselves.
A gentle stirring that wakes you up
in the silence of the night;
or it can gently probe the essence of your soul.
Waitin, wanting you to immerse yourself in it's
insatiable zest for life.
Once you have been there,
you never want to come back.
But we only stay for a moment;
it makes us vulnerable so we leave.
And in doing so leave a part of us behind.
For in that stirring, our lives are complete, content.
We all want it..the gentle stirring..it lets us live.
