The Wilderness Within

The Wilderness Within We stir from slumber, in a place unknown, A vast expanse, where wild seeds are sown. The wilderness, our waking finds us there, Beneath an open, unpredicted air. No map is given, no clear path defined, Just waking senses, leaving dreams behind. And in that moment, fragile, fresh, and new, A fundamental splitting comes to view. For some lift eyes, and catch a distant gleam, A breaking dawn, fulfilling hope's soft dream. They see the potential, in the rugged ground, The quiet promise, waiting to be found. The light that filters, through the branches high, A sign of guidance, written in the sky. But others gaze, where deeper shadows creep, And secrets that the tangled thickets keep. They see the dangers, sharp and drawing near, The lurking worries, cultivating fear. The overwhelming darkness, closing fast, A future burdened, by the heavy past. No light appears, no hopeful, guiding ray, Just deep uncertainty, obscuring their day. The same wild landscape, stretching all around, The same uncertain, still unhallowed ground. Yet in the seeing, lies the core divide, The inner vision, where the soul can hide. The choice of focus, or the lens they wear, That paints the picture of the wilderness there. We all are waking, in this place untold, Some finding silver, others seeing gold. The wilderness awaits, in sun or shade, Defined by how the waking soul is made— Or how it chooses, in that crucial start, To see the light, or darkness, in its heart.

Tears of a Broken Man

In the quiet of the night, When silence fills the air, A broken man sits weeping, Lost in his despair. His heart, once full of laughter, Now heavy with the pain, Each tear a silent witness, To love that’s gone in vain. He cries out in the darkness, For strength to see him through, In every tear that’s fallen, He finds a hope anew. For though his heart is shattered, And dreams have turned to dust, He feels a gentle whisper, In God, he places trust. The tears, they cleanse his spirit, And wash away the fear, In every drop of sorrow, God’s love is ever near. He lifts his eyes to heaven, And feels a healing hand, In the midst of all his heartache, He learns to understand. That even in the brokenness, There’s beauty to be found, For in the tears of a broken man, God’s grace will still abound. With every tear that’s fallen, A seed of hope is sown, In the garden of his heart, New love and joy have grown.

The Voice of Hope I am the whisper in the quiet night, The flicker of stars, the dawn’s first light. When shadows gather and doubts take flight, I rise anew, a resilient delight. I am the seed in the barren ground, The pulse of life where dreams are found. In the still of silence, when all seems done, I bloom in the heart, like the rising sun. Through cracks of despair, I weave and flow, A golden thread where new paths grow. In the eyes of the weary, I softly gleam, A tender reminder: life can still dream. I am the laughter that shatters the pain, The warmth of connection in cold, pouring rain. In sorrow’s abyss, I stand clear and tall, A beacon of strength, a voice for us all. So when you feel lost, when hope seems far, Seek me in silence, like a guiding star. For I am the flame that will never fade, The eternal light, where love is made.
