Desert Musings


The Australian desert is beautiful, at least where I was.





The silent desert
envelopes, absorbs
the noise of living,
immerses me in stillness                         
My heart can hear.



The light of His face
overcomes the clouds
of confusion, doubt and fear
My heart can see.








Let my roots grow deep
like thirsty roots of desert oak,
that burrow through the desert sand,
finding water that leads to life,
to healthy trees, alive with sap.
