Soul In Wilderness

In the invisible flare of the insane times When all the bridges we built are burning I wish to walk the remnant miles Across the Rubicorn of doomsday fear To the untamed wild country of yonder Into the transmuted tranquility of the thicket Where from the facet of the canopy crown The sunset shimmer slips through the foliage Filling the forest floor with mystic maze Where I’ll let my shadow repose on quietude. In the onyx waters of the emerald laced lake The cadence of the pine-scented breeze Designs the lattice of the rhapsodic ripples Glistening entranced in the flashes of firefly light Flickers entwined with filament of moonbeam Kindling lucent lines of lamps in the dark alley Where I’m toiling all the time in my journey To find me for I’ve lost my way down the pathway Searching for the serenity of sublime wilderness Where I’ll let my sated soul reside in bliss.
