ALS NaPoWriMo Day 4: I am incomplete without you

 Prompt:

Today, let’s challenge ourselves to identify what/ who makes us feel complete. It could be a person, a deity, or a quality or skill you possess. Let your heart guide you in identifying it and weave those emotions into a poem.

 

Here’s my poem for today:

 

Poem: Your Presence Completes Me!

 

Some thoughts wander in the sanctuary of my mind

Emotions creating an upheaval in no time

Inept I feel at comprehending myself

But words come to my rescue, and verses I weave

Your presence I feel when you help me express

 

 

Mountains, valleys, depth of the ocean

Relationships, knowledge, service, and devotion

I followed every path as I searched for my purpose

But I was lost in this world as I set to find myself

Your presence I felt when you led me to myself

 

 

In the ocean of lies, I drowned every day

Truth, I perceived, was concealed in its depths

How could I ever find what I hid from myself?

Which face of the truth was truly my mirror?

Your presence I felt when I flowed like a river

 

 

The secrets of the Universe I found mystifying

The secrets of my heart I couldn’t rejoice

The pain in my heart broke me into fragments

Crumbled I lay, defying all proclamations

Your presence I felt when you recollected my bits

 

 

Incomplete I am, a wanderer in this Universe

Struggling to be seen, like moon on a grey dusk

Grateful I am Oh Lord, for your eternal benevolence

Your presence completes me, and my purpose on this Earth

In your loving grace, I found within myself, the entire Universe!
