The Void Within

by WP (virgo) - Not entered


What is it that I need,
   as I go day to day with this emptiness inside.
I look for meaning,
   search for something to believe in.


I close my eyes to go to the place
   where all truths are put into song.
The songs lift my soul and quench its 
   desire to-----


I open my eyes,
   I know what it is that I need.
In the oblivion of my mind
   I saw my heart, and peeked inside.
I see something few men understand, 'the truth',
   it is stronger than anything know to mankind,
   and was surrounded by emotion, covered in passion,
"the truth-that LOVE is the ultimate and highest goal
   to which man can aspire"

Once I realize this, things become clear,
   my life begins to have direction.
I've found meaning in my life,
   I've found something to believe in.
My salvation, and salvation for all is in LOVE, 
   and through LOVE.

The euphoria wears off, the emptiness returns.
What is it that eats away at me inside...

I've discovered the greatest miracle known to man,
   with love all other things become possible.
Yet I'm not complete.

Isn't just the belief in love enough?

Reason for writing:

    My search for love in my life
