Poetry: Hunger

Satisfying Words

I hunger for the words
That can heal the pain
When life is disappointing
Perhaps they will challenge
Thoughts that can harm society
I hunger for the truth
People say they find in scripture

I hunger for meaning amidst
Mental starvation
Spirits drying up
With no one to understand
I reach out to ease their hunger
On a printed page
I claim their right to feel
I share in their frustration

    with an empty, hungry feel
    As soon as I have showered
    I have my morning meal.
    I eat as much as I desire
