Sustenance in vagrancy is admirable
Only if I am able to reach
The definition that I seldom seek

In contrast I indulge and not live
In the relativity of moments
The meaning of which I seldom seek

The thrust of water and the thrust of blood
Both without colour worth that soul
Lust for heaven and of love decreed
That’s the life I have stopped to seek.

if you have stopped seeking, you must have found it all?

Even if you stop to seek, the thirst always remains like fire inside and waits to comeout when you search.

Life and love... oh what a treasure. For if the heart was bare of love it would surely turn black and die.

Go forth with your search, find love just around the corner and those eyes that are meant to see deep inside your soul.

Perfectly worded alok.

I get the feeling this is questioning your faith - something we all go through at one time or another...or am I way off base here?

Surely you'll keep looking?
