Parched

Parched
the ground
the corn
the cows
me


Rain refreshes,           
replenishes the earth
I am parched still.

Promising thunderclouds
are mere bags of wind
preaching empty words
They cover my soul with dust.


But...
He was thirsty
so I could drink
the dew of heaven,
His words of life,
and never thirst again.

Quietus

Writer's block~~I've had it for weeks. Aarrrgghh!!



But...
A delightful invasion of hummingbirds
    playing games
    dancing a ballet
    sipping nectar
    guarding territory
    accepting my presence
    just resting
Called me to enjoy the moment.
