Wilderness Anthology

Prayer

Here I kneel down
to look up at You.
Give me a chance to question,
and heed my humble and earnest prayer please.

Has the soul of child
been utterly forgotten?
Only sighing, helplessness, exhaustion, and senility.

Has the ideal homeland
been totally buried?
Nothing but distress, anguish, oblivion, and corruption.
Has the heaven of faith

been completely overlooked?
No other than confusion, solitude, numbness, and fraud.

No purity, darkness conquers light by weakness.

No flawlessness, holding fast to truth collapses for fragility at first blow.
Surging sea tide gushes toward pervasive flooded land.
Speechless creek still heads for the palace of sun.

Would You give mercy and grace
in your peaceful and joyful kingdom?
