Wanting
Fully feel your heart's wanting. It's the closest thing there is to love.
Fully feel your heart's wanting
It's the closest thing there is to love
Fill yourself with your own longings
Watch it melt you into being
It's scary to see how it is
To let your wantings be
An antidote to disappointment
A cure for expectations
Who is left when your wantings flow
Washing away your flaws
Jealousy, envy, pride, and anger
How wanting twists your thoughts
Wanting can only exist right here
Where nothing can be known
Doubts, fears, worries, and confusion
Can't exist in the unknown
Let your wantings flow beyond all you know
Fully trust your will
To take you exactly where you were willed
Let your heart's wanting finally take you home
