Human Thirst

Needs

that go unfulfilled.

Desires

that are not quenched.

Fruits 

that go untasted.

Bodies 

that ache.

Hearts 

and souls 

disconnected.

Born and bred

to a life of transience

we thirst for more.

To always want more when you don't have it is good I suppose, but to want more of that special someone once you have found them, is the way it should be. Diana, you created so many thoughts in my mind with your words today that I actually wrote and re-wrote these comments three times. Each time I began and was running with a thought, I stopped and thought again. This piece may be simple in structure and size, but it is an amazing work. Nicely done.

[Diana]

Thank you for your words, Jack. To be confused or overflowing with too many thoughts is a good way to reason and learn...though frustrating and puzzling at first. :)

Sometimes we honestly do not have enough and other times we don't take stock of what we have and instead we thirst for more.

[Diana]

Yes, indeed.

[Lydia Shutter]

And it is that thirst that keeps us moving into the future....keeps us motivated. Thirst is a good thing. You have said a lot in these short lines. Well written. lydi**

[Diana]

Thank you, Lydi.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

we move on so often and so fast that we seldom enjoy the fruits of where we are at the moment.

nicely expressed.

[Diana]

Thank you, Jacob.

[Dr. Wood ?]

human nature to want to KNOW more......Human frailty to want to OWN more...but we are, after all...Only human......I loved this poem...Thanks

[Diana]

Wasn't so much about the owning more. Thinking more on the intrinsic side...

[Diana]

Thank you, though.

[Dr. Wood ?]

that's fine...I never understand anything that I write..let alone others....

[Jared Michael Smith]

Thank you. :)

[Jared Michael Smith]

Of course. :)
