Spirit of the Wilderness

Yearning for the open spaces, Longing for endless sky I seek out the holy places: Desert canyon, mountains high, Where my soul is free to fly. And I feel a light is glowing Deep within me like a flame, Hear a song within me growing, Hear the spirit call my name And am happy that I came. 7/18/2017 For contest English Quintain Sponsored by Janice Canerdy

This is a beautiful and poetical delivery of this delightful form, Agnes. I yearn for such open wilderness, considering that our once beautiful island is quickly losing its natural allure, falling victim to 'progress' and exploiters. Regards // paul
