it calls me to the impossible!
it will not relent!
there is no escaping!
This madness that exists within.
it will not let me be]
comfortable]
stationary]
docile]
This madness that exists within.
it was ignited by love/
its flame fanned by passion/
if i try to extinguish it/
it grows/
it is insatiable/
This madness that exists within.
to love the One:.
to love the unlovable:.
to love in spite of the cost:.
to love because of the cost:.
paid by the one:.
who created:.
This madness that exists within.
i am not alone/
i know there are others/
pursued by it/
driven by it/
consumed by it/
This madness that exists within.
there is no therapy]
no program]
no drug]
no cure for]
This madness that exists within.
i am forever in its debt!
i am forever in its grip!
there is no place that I would rather be than with!
This madness that exists within.

The only thing that exceeds the exuberance you describe is the decimating emptiness when that feeling is gone, or dramatically diminished.
I am in a season of waiting, of seeking, of praying and yet being unwilling to pray to find that love, that feeling, that en theos again. The words of Keith Green's song have been my frequent companion for over a year...
My eyes are dry, my faith is old,
My heart is hard, and my prayers are cold,
And I know how I ought to be
Alive to You, and dead to me
Oh, what can be done with an old heart like mine?
Soften it up with oil & wine -
The oil is You, Your spirit of Love,
Please wash me anew in the wine of Your blood...
I celebrate your passion - and trust in the possibility of its return for myself...
Thanks Steve you are an encouraging man. I pray that our Father of heavenly lights lavishes his grace upon you. And that the emptiness of which you speak is replaced with His presence.
peace and prayers. TK
