Desire

How many times
Must I ask for forgiveness
Before it takes root in my heart?
My desire is truth
My desire is you.


How many times
Shall rage overwhelm me
When bitterness is scarring my soul?
My desire is wisdom
My desire is you.


How many times
Has love calmed the storm
Devouring the soul you healed?
My desire is strength
My desire is you.

How many times
Is the question indeed
Before all has become evident?
My desire is you
My desire is only you.
