for love
to be known
to have worth.
to be understood
to understand
to go far enough,
to look high enough,
to stoop low enough and
to stand still enough
to understand.
to understand
to mystify
for safety
for freedom
for innocence
to know, to really really know
for time to stand still in a moment of peace
for innocence
for a taste that can’t be tasted
for feelings that can never be felt
for truth
for untainted joy
Hunger for the end of hunger.
