A Heart's Yearning

A Heart's Yearning

It's on days like this I asked myself

Have I done the very best meant for me

Grab the essence of my existence 

To stop existing, start living 

Did my presence make a difference

Did I live with indifference

Fully manifest what's in my heart

The things in life's path, kept me apart 

Live the purpose of my life 

That will only give true meaning

This is my heart's yearning

When this body fails, become rather frail

Will I look forward, rather than behind

Confident that I lived out my purpose

One that was only mine

What a waste to exist, having never lived

Lived my mission, my plan, my destiny

The very essence of my existence

Only meant for me

Could this be my heart's yearning

All around me, there are worlds I cannot see

Yet they are real as I am to be

Beneath my feet, around and above 

Though I cannot see for eyes given me

Eyes given that will never see colors others see

Other existences about me

Held prisoner longing to be free

I break these bonds about me

They limit me to do much more than I can see

Such desire is my heart's yearning

I must remember this, while I yearn to explore

To always learn more, will be my life's quest

Never truly attaining full knowledge yet  searching after it

There will always be much to discover, to learn

To be such about me is most welcoming 

Yet still made by another, no lifetime here will do

In my few years of life, I'm just passing through

While there's still a lot for me to live life anew

This quest will always be my heart's yearning
