You’ve felt the hunger
of your dreams,
pangs of obliqueness
from that nameless, faceless hunger
that gives you no pride, no shame
fluid thoughts of a world
draped in fixed opinions of Peace
ever searching for the answer
to overcome the id
and wonder what you ever did
before your eyes were opened
but experience weathers away
your frame of mind
slowly...relentlessly,
minute by minute,
hour after finite hour,
wisdom overpowers
until all you have left
is the answer.

Great poem. True, beings have a infinite desire for fulfillment and so a infinite source is needed to quench it.

Yes, @shing3e, I wrote this about 15 years ago. It was in my first published collection of poetry called, Continuum. It's out of print now.

Good poem, one of the few decent ones that don't open up that "pit in your stomach" feel haha.
