too busy for God
past moment of redemption
forever thirsty
Linking to The Lent Project which includes a powerful poem by Billy Collins…
distracted to death?

Elsie at Ramblings of a Writer challenges us to write a poem using “water” and “thirst”. Mine is an “etheree” with ten lines, each of increasing syllables.
wet
when it
rains it pours
saturation,
precipitation,
weather aberration
water cannot drain away
groundwater rises, creek beds flood
farmers, crops and lawns thirst for sunshine
iowa’s summer uncommonly wet!
secret well of life

empty of myself
my energy depleted

i thirst for living water
