Where every wilderness unimaginable
Earths itself in silence until awakened
By a hunger only recognized by the gods.
What has withered away is nothing more
To confess its sins to a heart
Emblazoned by love.
My wilderness whispers
each time it sees the sun.
Anointed by its radiance,
prostrating itself before a kingdom unknown.
A self gently unwinding into tenderness
Slowly making peace with
A life half lived
Waiting for communion
With a heaven within and beyond.
Solitude never looked so beautiful.
