L.C. Jarrette Poet Free verse

Being In the Wilderness

The sirocco of Sahara I face
Tread barchans of crescent dunes
This lion-like lightning is looking for lunes
Sleep soundly in the comfort of thorns
And be stuck in a swamp
Escape from the nest!
Alas! It’s not where you belong

The one in a standstill
Tired of the tedious routines
There’s more to life than what it seems
Robin’s-egg blue
Bracelets of Egypt’s Queen
Envisaging quests from a dream
Exploit towering cyclones
For there lies diamond Jupiter skies
Ancient people from the tribes
Follow the murmurs of the river
But only eagles fly…
With eagles

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
