On Longing - Part One: My Journal

Personalized Journal Artwork by Sally Palaian 

Longingness; I want to bask in the word - 
 
and hear it all over my body. 
 
Longing. 
 
 
*** 
 
 
Why do I feel so alive when I long? 
 
Where does the hunger come from? 
 
Why did she say lost

most disturbed... 
 
or did she say often the 
 
most disturbed? 
 
*** 
 
 
 
Why Why? 
 
Longing... 
 
*** 
 
 
 
Longing - 
 
Why do I want to see the road ahead so bad? 
 
Why can't I let it be? 
 
Why?
