Poem -
Arid Land of a Desolate Heart
Covered in dust
the desolate heart can only feel
the thorns and stones in this arid land
where ravens constantly pick
on clean and shiny bones.
Ah! this unforgiven barren land
has no compassion
for desolate souls!
But when the winds are called
to lift the unwanted dust,
the ravens are exiled and the soul set free,
giving an arid desolate land
the chance to become a garden.
Only when the heart is thirsty for love
and the past is left behind
can the skies open to showers of fresh rain
so the heart may flourish
and learn how to love again.
--Bernadete vdw, ‘25

let come
the love
to the desolate heart
to clean the dust of loneliness
let come
the love
to the desolate heart
to fill with happiness
of the brimful nature
let come
the love
to the desolate heart
to draw the peaceful soul
on the celestial canvas
let come
the love
to the desolate heart
to write the epoch-making poetry
on the fertile veins
