Poet, Songwriter, Artist, Thinker of Thoughts!
A free verse poem that arrived fully realized and just in time. I would love your thoughts!
Center:
There's a deep dissatisfaction
within me.
It keeps me hungry, curious; it pulls my introverted self
towards the world
in hopes of capturing
whatever might quell
such a feeling.
It delivers me
to songs, poems,
wild wide-eyed things
not meant for taming,
but glimpses of a meeting
of the needle points.
That elusive center
from which our hearts
came sparking
into existence.

I think it ends very well, but the beginning/middle is a little plain. Having said that, it’s so serene and yet simultaneously edgy, and I think that would appeal to a lot of the fans of softer meaningful stuff.
