Howling Wilderness

In the silence of pitch dark night of loneliness A sweet melodious voice calling me from far My heart craves to go there The disabling shackles of loyalty stop me Call me not, I’m not free I wish I was a bird Free floating in the horizon Chirping and singing the Hymn of God These killing bondages of life My soul imprisoned in the cage of values The waves of adversities rocking the boat of hopes My body a cold storage of my desires O caller! Stop calling me Your melody enchants me But I have jobs undone. -Hamida Yamin Nov.10, 2014

How true, Hamida, As long as we are still here, That means God still has work for us to do. I have a son in heaven and long to see him again. But all in God's time! Blessings, Darlene
