Daily Signet

My search for You is certain death
unless I seek to die.
Answers stand in stagnant pools
while unknowing fuels a living fire.
Burn up the words I worship
yet infuse me with their passion.
Unfasten me from my finding
that I might be naked in my seeking.
Kindle my death, O God,
that life may quicken in my wake.
