The Journey Of the Desert

There are moments I just Am
In awe of the beauty
At peace
My heart is filled with love; with compassion
No sorrow lingers in me; no regrets; nor fear
There are moments I must push, rush
I have an urgent need to journey faster
In these moments
I fall, I flounder
Emptiness fills me
Fear and dread seep inside me
Hopelessness is my companion
In moments of haste, I lose ground
In times of distress I rage with fear
No future, no joy awaits me
Emptiness, and sorrow line my heart
Past woe's resurface, keeping me company
To cross this desolate desert
I must take the journey alone
For there is no one else to walk in my footsteps
No one to walk beside me that I may share my weary heart with
Nor to be offered a tight embrace by
To find the peace I search for
The desert is my journey
I must first cross the vastness of loneliness; of nothingness
To reach The Water; The Sweetness; Life
To once again just Be
