Yorktown Disciple

Quatrain of Soul Wilderness

Roughing it

I went off to the wilderness of
my soul to foray into
new territory,
for a solitary
livelihood,

I had the urge to rough my
existence all alone in
spiritual wonder
as much as I
could.

The spirit of God watched
over me as a giant sun
rose and set above
a desolate
will,

Living out in the back country
of an existential livelihood
is turning out to be
lonesome
thrill.
