The Wilderness of My Soul

This land of mine
Raging with darkness
The savage winds, they tear me down
My eyes, they stream with the dust of mortal-ness
Like the whipping sands, of the desert storm

This darkness consumes me
Like the turbulent rapids
As they batter me down
I fall to my knees
Blindly crawling, I search for something
Anything I plead, anything but this!

Surrender!
Is the whisper
That roars through my being
Taking me with her, as I let it all go

My eyelids flutter, with the notion of sunlight
Glistening through my lashes
Like the early morning dew
This light, this golden
Surrounding my being
Permeating my bones, warming them through

As I peel my parched self
From the stillness of the earth
Seeing for the first time, in awe of the view
There is a certain beauty in this wilderness
This wild untamed land of uncertainty
This land of mine

Tentatively
I invite in, the beginnings
Of hope, of possibility
Of trust, of belief
Of love, of oneness
And my heart starts to bloom
As together, we navigate through the lands of time
Through the wilderness of my soul

Love, Always ♥
The Blooming Heart
