Here In The Desert

Let me rest here in the desert

If I cannot swallow the world of man,

As he levels the Ancient World

A trillion dollars in death.

/

Lying here in the desert

I step from bed to kitchen to bath

Carefully, so my head does not fall

From where it stands between silence and fear.

/

Here in healing isolation

My soul searches the wind

For an unknown God,

Until these hopeless tears finally

/

Rain in the Heart of Hearts.

Only when I am fully diminished

Are these salted prayers answered by

The hand of a stranger in my final hour.
