In My Silent Desolation Poem by Gert Strydom

In my silent desolation where I am broken
You do still walk through the wide paths of my soul
and even if I do feel defenceless and the world inaccessible and evil
it's Your presence that does constantly carry and comfort me
and at night I see the lights of Your starry-wheel
while You do bring to my own words new meaning

where You are the God that silently and softly does talk to me,
the One that never leaves me admit the struggle.
