The joy is in the seeking
The fun is in pursuit
The aching in the longing
To want without refute
To pursue is to do
To want drives action
To seek demands longing
The orphan seeks affection
For all I have accomplished
And all that I have found
Has left me feeling a want
As if more should be around
Always seeking and pursuing
I love the longing ever more
I love the war more than victory
I love the thirst in my core
What if I feel the same
When I meet me and we speak
And when I become mine
And what if I still feel incomplete?
So go on, roar in mighty thunder
But do not give in and rain
Leave me parched, wanting more
Let me languish in the pain
Go on and hide behind the mountain
Let me seek until I tire
Do not show Yourself today
Let me burn in my desire
Go on and silence all the heads
Let the words all burn away
Not a sound, not a whisper
As I strain my ears today
Leave my cup unfilled and empty
So I may always long for more
Don’t be mine, not today
I seek to want You even more
Elusive Silence
