Sighs of a desert soul

O Jesus,

You are all-knowing.
.
You know that I am already

so tired of waiting.

.

You know that I am already

so exhausted of giving.
.
Until when are You going

to keep me in wait?

.

Until when are You going

to stop the test?
.
Yet, You have promised, Lord;

You have promised;

fulfill Your promises now - please?
.
But who can question Your Wisdom?

.

Who can say You're wrong?
.
But I am human.

.

I am already extracted.

.

No more tears left.

.

I am already as dry as a desert.

.

No one else is here.

.

I am all alone.
.
It seems hard to get up.

.

I thirst.

.

And the air I breathe is heat.

.

Yet my lungs cannot help

but accept it.
.
Sighs! - sighs! - sighs! - are all I hear.

.

I want to leave -

I need to.
.
But I have nowhere else to go,

and You alone are God.

.

I have nothing else to do -

but wait

in trust in You.
.
