In This Wildnerness

In this wilderness I see Direction where God’s truth sifts the leaves and sings humanity’s song of Belong. Where Alone never leaves me empty or afraid, where guardian energy is spoken by the trunks, the branches, the eternal green of these life-giving trees— where the eyes of living beings brighten as they reach the havens of the love-flowing rivers— where Pain and Purpose are both found in a mother bear’s unwavering strength. Where the mountains stand so brazen— I hear the beings of the forest speak of His genius—flocks of birds flying in uniformity and unfathomable rhythms— the heart of Truth is in His creation where Love never ceases to inspire. Let me rest where the trees upward gaze, seeking your setting sun in the eyes of waiting night. In Your Trust I can end the day on a drifting breeze— in Your Trust I can fully be at blissful ease, as You pave the paths to imminent Peace.
