Of Deserts And Orchards Poem by Keilani Poetry
Of Deserts And Orchards
"And she shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth her fruit in her season; her leaf also shall not wither." (Psalm 1: 3)
In my windblown arid wilderness
a pauper in lands desolate
shifting drifting wayward sands
of passing formless slopes and hills
desert stern and sparsely green
I thirst upon this parched terrain
a beggar with my cup in hand
sojourner on this strand of time
A rivulet I seek and find
the shifting landscape now divides
a highway cutting through appears
upon the face of battle scars
the season bearing fruit has come
for all who seek shall surely find
and dressed they'll be in verdant green
with fragrant blossoms Knowledge brings
in Wisdom shall their tears be dried
reposing in their orchard shade
The longing when stranded in a desert is a poignant experience. From that bottom-most point, seeking and finding ‘a rivulet' is extraordinary courage. Congratulations for such positivity. Great work.5*s
