Wilderness of the Heart

Once again I wander
In the wilderness of my heart
Dryness and weariness intensely felt
Thirst and hunger always felt.

Belongingness and loneliness
In the midst of happiness
Yet uncertain, unreal, it seems
Temptations, to stop, to go back.

Tempted to stop, I said, it’s enough
Journeying in the wilderness of the heart
Leading to the unknown
Unknown part of my life.

To the familiar world, will I return?
Not in a new place, not in the wilderness
On the familiar world, by heart is known
Should I decide, yet grow no more.

Anxiety, insecurity I feel inside
Hopelessness reveals something
Where my heart truly belongs?
In the wilderness, where God leads me into?
Or to the familiar place where I’ve been to?
