Feed Me
by:
JP Leddy
The hunger lingers and crawls
Awakening a primal longing
Going deeper than the flesh
Past the thirst and stomach rumblings
The emptiness seeks to be filled
It overtakes any thought and attention
“Feed Me” screams the desperate cry
Not from my belly…but from my soul

Soul hunger! Good spin on the theme, JP. I like it. 🙂
Oh , thank you, Jamie!
Stomachs can be fed.. hunger can be appeased… But those cries cannot be silenced all too easily…
Very nicely written, JP… very heartfelt and poignant..
Peace to you, my friend..

May the world see no such hunger! Let us all strive to hear and respond to the cries.

We stuff our bellies and minds full but all too often forget to feed our souls. How beautifully you remind us that there is no value to life when our soul has starved to death.
Thank you, too, for visiting me and leaving your encouraging words. Also, I am honored for the nomination for the award but am not able to accept it as I can not meet the conditions. I live in a remote section of Brazil (all is remote if one lives more than 15 minutes from a major city) and have very slow intermittent Internet service. It keeps my time online very limited. But I love that you nominated me and that will stay in my heart if not on my blog.
Yes, it is so easy to overlook the need to feed the other senses as well as taste– nice write!
Thanks, Mairmusic!

Sad, haunting, and beautifully written. I hope you find what you’re looking for.
Fantastic spin on the theme, and the words just echo in its demand!
“Feed Me | Tasithoughts’s Weblog” was indeed genuinely compelling and insightful! Within todays universe that’s quite hard to execute. I am grateful, Angelia
Thank you, Angelia for your comments.
