The Wild

I pray for some guidance

in the forests of fear,

a heart to beat on

in the silence

 

When the world shares a song

of loss and despair,

I find myself grasping

for survival

 

The earth sings a melody

of melancholy,

yet like owls call out

in the darkness

 

We will heal

from the arms

of the unknown

 

We will bloom

with the thorns

in the wild
