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>
