Wilderness


It’s so easy to keep on

wandering 

aimlessly 

in the wilderness

hoping

somehow 

to find the light.

Such a predictable landscape 

making sure that one day

is much the same as the next.

Making sure that one day 

is just as safe as the next.

Maybe it’s easier

still

to keep to the path,

the straight and narrow one,

even though I know

it can never reach the light.

If only a door would appear

that I could open.

If only a door would appear

that I would open

and pass through

out of the wilderness,

into the unknown.

Into the dark or the light.
