Hunger Pains

By Perkele

I am..

...Famished for a coastline drive
the snow covered ranges
looking out onto
tall redwood trees

...Starved for words of beauty
flowing syllables
determined to give
every minute significance

...Aching for a philosophy
genuine with clarity
words to live by
etch into my skeleton

...Hankering for the eye of god
that searing heat
whenever I feel it
glance upon me

...Craving your song set sway
sinuous and curving
the benediction
of your grace

Mostly,
I'm just hungry for you
