The Oxymoronic Life...that's me:)

Dissatisfied satisfaction...discontent contentment...pursuit in waiting...constantly moving while in stillness.

I walk/run after You.
I'm still in training
If I go to hard at first disappointment will ensue.
I wait hard after You,
Knowing that in the stillness I find you.
I cry out with my ears,
Hoping to hear your voice.

I will pursue you in my waiting,
I will listen in my watching.
I will satisfy my soul in you,
But remain dissatisfied so that I pursue.

I REALLY LIKE YOUR POEM...SPEAKS TO ME THE MELANCHOLY I HAVE FELT IN MY LONELY PURSUIT OF GOD......WARRIOR.

IT IS SO REAL, & SO ALONE...BUT SO COMMON IN THOSE WITH AN AUTHENTIC CALL ON THEIR LIVES. THE CALL? TO POSSESS HIM, SO THAT WE CAN GAIN HIM AS HE POSSESSES US.....THE HOLY BRIDE OF CHRIST JESUS.

NEVER GIVE UP & LET THIS BE YOUR MOTTO. "ALL FOR JESUS NO MATTER THE COST!"...HE IS WORTHY.
