Literature Text

This heart that yearned for years to reach and touch
A soul whom it could intimately know
Was restless, and its eyes became its crutch.
These lonely times, it claimed, moved much too slow;
The hope that once burned brightly with each beat
Now felt too distant and invisible,
And so it sought to kindle its own heat
With scraps too finite, sinful, pitiful.
But in this barren wasteland rolled a storm
That rained down healing on the drought-cracked place.
There came a gust both comforting and warm;
I felt your hand caress my tear-stained face.
And I beheld with eyes a little dryer
That face for whom is all my deep desire.
Next sonnet in the heroic crown I'm doing for FSC at Crowns-of-Sonnets. See FSC 2016: Official Thread for more details!

This one takes a couple recurring images from the Bible, namely, the desert and the storm. Though drastic places to be, they are all places where those who need to find God find the need for God. So I think that final reconciliation will be very dramatic and very sweet all at once.
