Hi ameen,
I really do like this excellent poem. You should have entered it in the Love poetry contest as I know it would have done very well. The ending is sad, to me, that our hero is in the wilderness. You have used expressive words that are most compelling. Well done...blessings, chey

Sometimes we need to rely on faith, as it can carry us through tough times, even when we think there is no more hope in store for us.
well done

Comment from Peter@Poole
IHHO, this poem is more like the free verse I try to encourage writers to execute, though I'm no authority on this genre. It is clearly not prose, reads more like the Bible I know, which is largely written in poetry though not of this kind. It is the tone, the reverence for God that strikes me as poetic. There's a respectful awe and a childlike questioning. We only use this language in church or mosque, I think.

Comment from Jim Lorson Sr
It seems to me that we all must travel in the wilderness. Must be our challenge we face to find our path to salvation. Just my thoughts. This is a very good thought provoking poem in which the writer is trying to achieve an answer. Great artwork to enhance your poem,,,,,Jim

Nice image and your words show your deep faith.
I like:"All across the sun's domain"
Always questions of purpose and understanding.
We cannot know the eternal plan of the universe.

You've got some alliteration going and some nice rhythm, a cadence. I guess all we can expect is an ocasional reprieve now and then, Ameen, and be thankful if we get that. cvc

I.m not sure if I understand this, Ameen. If you're speaking to God, you're not regally in the wilderness if you have Faith. It can seem like it but it truly isn't.
