A Voice In The Wilderness Poem by Phil Soar

I stretched my limbs and yawned as morning dawned
The epicentre of my life was all around
Surrounded as I was with natures beauty
I wish I could have shared this day with you

A long and painful road had led me back to here
The purpose of this visit circumstantial
I breathed the cold air, said a prayer and thought of you
Your voice was heard, although I know you're gone

The wilderness was just the place where I could grieve
Where only I could dwell on seasons past
Where ease of thought would lead me down to where you lay
And comfort me and make my journey last
