Jungles

I was lost
in a vast jungle..

thorns and cactii..
of my own needs
pricking my feet..

bitter fruits of
materialism..
growing on each shrub ..

until i realized
his divine presence..

but i am still lost
in a vast jungle..

it might glitter with
the colorful rainbows
of his thoughts..

it might also be
fragrant with the
blooming flowers
of his mercy...

but i am still lost..
in a jungle of my own
thoughts and words...

bless me O'Almighty
so that i learn to
stop looking for you
in any jungles....

help me find your
divine presence
in the home
of my heart....
