The heart resides in fragmented nests,
each beat a rhythm of its own desire;
we search for wholeness between breaths,
haunted by a longing – a secret fire –
a quest for knowledge to lift us higher.

Enduring, striving, living; it’s that or we shrivel up and die. Even though it’s hard, I would say a quest is better than the alternative. 🙂 Great writing, VJ!
