Incomplete

Alanis always has the right song for me:

One day I'll find relief, I'll be arrived
And I'll be a friend to my friends who know how to be friends
One day I'll be at peace, I'll be enlightened
And I'll be married with children and maybe adopt
One day I will be healed
I will gather my wounds, forge the end of tragic comedy

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete

One day my mind will retreat and I'll know God
And I'll be constantly one with her night, dusk and day
One day I'll be secure
Like the women I see on their 30th anniversaries

Ever unfolding
Ever expanding
Ever adventurous
And torturous
But never done

One day I will speak freely, I'll be less afraid
And measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art
One day I will be faith filled
I'll be trusting and spacious, authentic and grounded and home
