Ever Thirsty

To be filled with uninspired duty
and obligation
is to be dead to life;
filled with dreariness
and frustration.

To be filled with desires unexamined
unexplained, misunderstood;
is to live an addiction
you wouldn't change it
if you could.

To be filled with thirst,
a yearning so clear and complete;
is the magic and the gift of living;
running toward greater things
never to retreat.
