Union

		A seeming emptiness within
		Played upon and opened up -
		Made conscious of,
		And in this light of my thoughts
		It grows
		Deeper,
		Wider -
		Engulfing my consciousness.

		Why do I fear 
		A life devoid of a partner,
		And yearn for a soul-mate
		More than I do for a life Jesus-filled?
		For He can replace my needs,
		My yearnings,
		And my friends can do the rest -
		I do not need this extra level of relationship...
		Try telling my heart that -
		He sits in self-pity,
		Waiting for the Return,
		The Arrival of a partner to complete me -
		But am I not complete already?
		I have myself
		And I have Jesus filling His gap in my heart -
		Why do I need more?
		I don't know -
		God made man and woman to live in union,
		But not to live in yearning and obsession,
		So why do I
		Still?
