Agnes Krampe Poet Quintain (English)

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.

Paul Callus July 25, 2017 at 2:41 PM 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.
