THE WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE

A dry rugged terrain,
A place not friendly for human habitation.
Spanning across it, the thorns and thistles,
Plants of no economic importance.
Giving you a hard time, throughout the journey.

Patched and uninviting,
lurking within it, the terrors of mankind.
Completely forsaken,
completely desolate in it,
A wandering soul could be.
Trudging through it at night, is never to be wished for again.

The experience so frightening,as well as challenging
Marching on tirelessly, a mission to accomplish;
for my Guide knows the way.
I wished for the better,
but I felt His gentle arms urging me on in His footsteps.

Strengthened by Him alone, on and on I moved.
Wondering when the journey will be over.
The answer: "when I'm through with making You".
"How Long?" "As long as you will require".
looking around me, a lesson to learn from the "Beasts of Burden";
All also made by my Guide.
 
Never complaining about their situation,
Rather finding this desolation, a delightful domicile.
What an irony! that so gentle-looking creatures,
would delight in so hostile a place.
Never willing to give it up for a better one.
I really have got a lot to learn!
