In the Wilderness

Captive beauty, in the wilderness aloneGolden moments of a man’s solitudeStands gloriously, as when bliss does hone                                                                                                                                                                                     Caught within life are the mountains of stoneAwe inspiring view of man’s fortitudeCaptive beauty, in the wilderness alone                                                                                                                                                                Through a silent song, love’s nature atonesBreath taking heartbeats of the altitudesStands gloriously, as when bliss does hone                                                                                                                                                               Peaceful home in the trials, each to his ownSeasons renew with humble attitudesCaptive beauty, in the wilderness alone                                                                                                                                                                              Sharpened senses, now feel all the tone,of gracious gifts, in their amplitudeStands gloriously, as when bliss does hone                                                                                                                                                     All of His creation, in its self does grownAlone with God is a sufficient multitudeCaptive beauty, in the wilderness aloneStands gloriously, as when bliss does hone

Freddie Robinson Jr. February 26, 2017 at 8:24 AM Wow! Powerful truth given in this superb poem, John. You touch on deep spiritual things in your poems, brother. This is a great poem, very meditative, w/elevated spiritual theme. Wilderness is where the Church will be again in the last days. (Rev. 12) Beautiful imagery, such a brilliant poem, my friend ... well done indeed. A 7 and a fave. Well deserved double blessing for you. Love has no limit.
