~the Wilderness~ Poem by James Haedle

Imagine the wilderness differently.

I imagine that conversation differently.
I imagine like minds attract.
I can only imagine what the Morning Star would ask of me.

I have read the tale of temptations.
I have heard the responses you recount.
I think about what could, would and should be.
I ask myself what I would say if I walked that path.

I'd ask for the strength to do and undo.
I would take a leap of faith, for I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I respect wisdom and my elders, even if I had to stoop to conquer.
Instead of an adversary, I would make a friend.

Hear me, ye mountains, rivers and valleys.

I come to live, love and learn.
Show me your secrets. Show me your heart.
Guide me through, and guide me true.

I do not seek to force my will, my choices or my desires upon you.

But to be a tool, a child and a ward of God.
