Water drops
Falling
From the skies
My eyes
Unable to see
The horizon
Eyes on
The heart
Wet from drops
That fall
While it falls
Waiting to be filled
Receiving
Life giving
Drops flow
Over parched areas
Of land and sand
Rivers, please flow
In deserts of my soul
Pour into emptiness
Drop upon drop
To make it a pool,
Then a lake
To take the lack
Away as I sit
In the stillness
Where I am called
And balling gives way
To silence
And hearing
Peering
Toward the horizon
To see and know
You would never go
Without me
But with me
You sit
In stillness
To be
And catch
Every drop that falls
From the skies…
From my eyes…

This is amazing Ken. Period. and it’s as if you are seeing into my heart and mind and writing my thoughts. Sending you hugs,Tracy * Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” – James 4:13-15
* The cyclone derives its powers from a calm center. So does a person. – Norman Vincent Peale
* There are two ways of exerting one’s strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up. – Booker T.Washington, 1856-1915, American Political Leader/Educator/Author * Go out on a limb. That is where the fruit is. – Jimmy Carter, President * Divine justice requires social justice, which is helping those in need, making things right again in the lives of others. – Arms of Love
