      Wilderness II<br>
      Valerie Moreno<br>
      2-17-19<br>
      <br>
      Silence holds empty promise<br>
      when my heart is trembling,<br>
      fragile as fancy glass.<br>
      <br>
      At these times, I look in to the mirror of my soul--<br>
      a spiritual inventory.<br>
      <br>
      I find shelves bare, others crammed with rotting boxes,<br>
      condensation of pain unchallenged.<br>
      <br>
      I reach, move crumbling pretence of letting go<br>
      never completed.<br>
      <br>
      Wilderness of silence holds sterdy promises<br>
      as I weep, ponder, search through<br>
      griefwork yet to touch.<br>
      ________<br>
      So, don't mind if I fall apart,<br>
      there's more room in a broken heart...<br>
