To The Desert

The original poem I was gonna make my Wiki on was the "To The Desert" by Benjamin Alire Saenz.  The poem is a spiritual gospel poem.  A man is lost in the desert but the desert is also a symbol for lost emptiness in his life.  Then just as he is ready to give up and feels like there is nothing in life for him, he finds God.  He screams out in his spoken language with joy.  The man feels like he has a new life and has found a new meaning.  There is a lot of symbolism in the poem, and the poem had a strong meaning; however the poem was too new, and there just wasn't enough information to create a Wikipedia because there has not even been a Wikipedia page made for the "To The Desert" poem.

  1. This was a good poem, I usually do not understand poems but this particular one was easy enough to understand. The way the author symbolized the desert as god was very different.
