What We Know Our Hearts Need

We live
Amidst
The tension
 
Of what we know
Our hearts
Need
 
And what
The world
Has available

Knowing well that
What is available
Doesn’t change
What is needed

We live
Amidst
This tension
 
Each and every day

And somehow we
Make do

Kept

Kept warm
Kept safe
Kept loved
Kept together

Not every need
Perfectly met

But enough needs met
To keep me whole

Enough needs met
To keep me

Kept
