In the Wilderness

Captive beauty, in the wilderness alone
Golden moments of a man’s solitude
Stands gloriously, as when bliss does hone
Caught within life are the mountains of stone
Awe inspiring view of man’s fortitude
Captive beauty, in the wilderness alone
Through a silent song, love’s nature atones
Breath taking heartbeats of the altitudes
Stands gloriously, as when bliss does hone
Peaceful home in the trials, each to his own
Seasons renew with humble attitudes
Captive beauty, in the wilderness alone
Sharpened senses, now feel all the tone,
of gracious gifts, in their amplitude
Stands gloriously, as when bliss does hone
All of His creation, in its self does grown
Alone with God is a sufficient multitude
Captive beauty, in the wilderness alone
Stands gloriously, as when bliss does hone

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.
