Wilderness

A voice cries out:
In the desert prepare the way of the Lord!
Make straight in the wasteland a pathway for our God! 

Isaiah 40:3


The wilderness,
where the wandering stumble
over trails untended.
Prepare the pathway,
purify your hearts.
Remove the stones you hide behind.

Fill the valleys
and make each mountain low.
Where there is rough terrain
leave smooth roads,
for God has made a promise
and men have waited.

The wilderness,
where a prophet cries out
to those with ears to hear,
to those with eyes to see,
to those with hearts to love.

Repentance is the call to all people.
Prepare,
what now is petrified stone.
Prepare the calloused soul.
Prepare a heart
which will be made flesh.
