THIRSTY
i thirst...
as the samaritan woman at jacob's well,
yet unaware of Living Water heretofore unseen.
thirsting...
An unintentional poet seeking the sigh... the ahhhhhhhhh
... serenity
... security
... significance
daughter, thirsting for Daddy Love.
wife, thirsting for Love greater than one's own self-interest.
momma, thirsting by a pool where reflections of myself ripple all around me.
thirsty...
nurse, thirsting for a deep draught of meaningful work.
teacher-student, thirsting for knowledge that will not leave me thirstier still.
friend, thirsting for the quenching satiation of good and honorable koinoinia.
so thirsty...
artist, thirsting in shadowy watercolors, for the just right shade, tone, hue.
musician, thirsting for soul-songs that flow like water from a drinking gourd.
dancer, thirsting for Delight sung over me.
still i thirst...
Come Living Water, spring up in me and pour forth,
Eternal Fountain of soul satisfaction... assuring me
I'll never thirst again.
