On Shifting Sands - Martin Wiles

On Shifting Sands

On shifting sands I stand,

trudging ‘cross this desert land,

heart bulging in my chest,

wondering what will be left.

Sun beating down upon my brow,

supposing God has left for now,

one foot I place before the other—

no other choice given by another.

Mirages here and there between—

promising much but sight unseen,

halting and huffing to be blessed,

I pursue them nonetheless.

Then a calm I’ve never sewn,

swooping in from worlds unknown,

takes rest within my heart,

and offers me a novel start.
