Linda Sue Grimes & Steve McCurry

 

Sharbat Gula, 1984, Steve McCurry


Not content to languish


I am not content to languish
In this play land of dreams,
Though You provide me beautiful toys:
A thirsty mind, a hungry heart,
People to love and to love me,
And You have sent my Master to let me know
That I am an immortal soul.
Before I knew, I cringed at sorrow and pain
And raged and sulked like a victim.
But they are not mine, says my dear Master.
Only You art mine,
And You have promised my immortal soul
That it will meet You face to face
When its stillness becomes Itself.
