I’ve been looking for something
But I haven’t known what it is
Which has made it hard to find
Now… I think… I have
I think… I have…
I’m pretty sure…
Though it’s still slowly sinking in
You see…
This thing…I sought…
It is invisible
Can’t see it…can’t touch it…
No taste…sound…or smell
It’s nothing…but Everything
I’d searched for years
Before I even knew I was looking
I scaled mountains high
Swam oceans deep
And in the end I found it on the sixth step
I turned right…around the corner
And felt it there
I Felt it
Feel it
It followed me home
Crept inside as I left the door open
It filled that empty space
The empty that took up all the room
And that’s how I know it’s here
It’s filled the hole
The empty hole that I had
The hole that would scream everyday
Taunt and tease…
Knock and scrape on the walls
Until this new thing
Came in
And lifted the emptiness out
I’m a little afraid it might leave
But I’ve a feeling that it won’t
Because I went and found it
It didn’t just appear
If I hadn’t of wanted
If I didn’t go looking
I wouldn’t have found
And invited
This thing into my life
And it’d still be out there
And I’d still be left
With that old empty hole
That does nothing but moan
But I did
What I did
And I am
Where I am
And instinct tells me
To keep it
I must remember it’s there
Never forget it
Or it’ll be gone
And the emptiness
I’m not missing
Will creep back into its hole

just brilliant full of hope and joy and realising that what fills the whole isn’t necessarily the same thing for everyone and that it needs to be cherished… again Care- just brilliant.
Care replied

I’ll say this while it’s upon you enjoy every minute of it some let oppurtunities pass them by and miss out on a lot you have to grab the bull by the horns sometimes, take that heat in the kitchen, expeirence is the best teacher there is I’ve learned more through that than in any classroom
Care replied
I’m soaking up every precious second of life….and experience has taught me to not let go of where I am now but flow with it : )
