To test the depths

Psychologists and theology

Is relationship from sociology?

Why do I crave in the depths of my soul

For another to talk to, who knows me in whole

There have been those yes, who seclude from the world

Are they really happy? When weather is cold?

And Adam with all of the world at his feet

Was he lonely in cool as he was in the heat

When God did so walk with him, bad company?

How is it that pre-fall, man is gluttony?

To want more than God, to seek more than love

To count heaven’s blessings as loss from above

To have what is plenty, no toil or strife

Why did he want more after God gave him life?

Is dissatisfaction incarnate within?

A lustful leach draining, fulfillment sans sin

Will man ever wander a lonely life long

And wonder and ponder his loneliness strong?

Without any answers, without any cause

Was this so created within us- I pause?

How could such a loving God ever declare-

-With life giving word, man to dwell in despair?

It can’t be His plan, His person betray

All the things He reveals to us, all for dismay?

Or is it in love, that man ever needs more

The image of God who’s relational at core

An insignia print on the heart of a man,

To desire to love, then returned in his hand

In light of this truth, in old age as in youth

A man with no friend is a mouth with no tooth

In tandem they dwell, reflect Him who is there

Who’s heart first desired a love He could share

Our God does relate, and so deeper than this

To give and receive a real love, this is bliss

And in order to manifest fulfillment here

Others required with same heart so to share

Answers in Him who we all share a heart

Fathom the soul, and you’ll learn not in part

God is relational, and so are we

To love and be loved, and share in this glee.
