Desert

The room in my heart

felt empty and scared,

There is nothing to expect,

nothing growing there.

Every morning, my eyes

searched my heart It pitied

the person I was becoming

My heart dissolved slowly

like an alum fading in a solution.

The constant trembling

and hum of tears fell from

my eyes day after day

Gathered and piled up

Flowing together

And eventually flooded,

the ground into a river, too,

wide for me to swim across.

The river smiled gently at me,

the sun glittered upon

the water, and deep within

my heart, i said:

The river has hinted

me knowing

This is a wake-up call

God's rejuvenation in my

life has begun now

The current overflowed

with mercy, the air clapped

in quiet rejoicing for me.

The room within my heart

slowly filled again with

hightened hope and new

achievements.

My surroundings rose

with fresh resources

My heart pumped life

normally again, and my

body was renewed,

Radiating a quiet glow ever after.
