I'm led to the edge of wilderness
parched is the life therein
I'm far from the rain's anointing,
where loneliness never ends.
I'm far from the wildflowers
fresh from a shadow fall
tossed on the winds of morrow
strong, though I gave my all.
My path is strewn in memories
whispers beneath each step
leading me to a journey
disregarding a heart's request.
I seek another wave
of love and faith so real
I'm dry from the joy I gave
and I yearn to simply heal.
