I Yearn

At 3:00 am in my waking

Turning my head against the cooler portion of my pillow

Yearning struck my heart unguarded

Floodgates of tears untamed

My heart bled in longing

Emotions locked in my unconscious flow

I yearn and I yearn

And then I cried

For how long I did not know

Until there's no more tears

But still so much sorrow

And then I prayed

Serenity came

Prayer puts everything back in perspective

Who should I yearn for?

You, my Light and my Life
