Seek Don't Settle

One too many times

I settled for the flesh

And sacrificed the Spiritual

To meet my soul’s needs

As I saw them.

I settled for happiness

And sacrificed joy

I settled for lust

And sacrificed love

I settled for attention

And sacrificed intimacy

I settled for the temporary

And sacrificed the eternal.

One too many times I settled

And felt the empty void in my soul.

One day all that changed

I sacrificed the flesh

And sought the Spiritual

I sacrificed the happiness

And sought the joy

I sacrificed the lust

And sought the love

I sacrificed the attention

And sought the intimacy

I sacrificed the temporary

And sought the eternal.

On the day all that changed

I felt the complete fullness in my soul.
