Weary of this dusty land
searching for a single drop
refreshment little remains
tho many for you have sought
sojourn in the desert
on weary feet I walk
thirsting for oasis
…and hopelessly I stop
***
rushing free the fountain
my hands eagerly reach out
touching living water
unencumbered by the drought
a wellspring ever deep
daily relieves my doubt
dry robes gone I dive
“drink all you can” – I shout
As the land that I call “home” is being devastated by drought (now thirsty wildfire), I am reminded anew of how satisfying a dip into cool water is on the hottest of days.
