HAGAR IN THE DESERT

HAGAR IN THE DESERT

A single tear stung her eye, 

In the day‘s draining desert heat,

In the chilling and cold, silent night -

In her loneliness

In her wandering;

Hagar walked and walked, 

Walked and wailed,

She yelled to the moonshot stars,

She cried to the desolate sun - 

Hagar spoke to her unseen God,

And to the boy, 

Born of her body, 

As tears washed down and fell

Into dry, aged and comforting earth –

And she softly floated down, 

Resting, with outstretched arms

Up toward unseen Heavens, 

While, Ishmael, her son,

Slept at her side.
