The forgotten compass

I've built my house on yearning,

Have carved it in it's walls.

I've yearned for higher meaning

As I have danced its halls.

I've built my shell on craving,

Have carved it in it's crack.

I've craved for true belonging

As I have searched my pack.

I've built my self on longing,

Have carved it in my core.

I've longed for deep connection

As I've unlocked my door.

Today I strip my body

And lay it on the grass

To navigate my yearning,

The soul’s forgotten compass.
