The Aquifer

Parched and wanting, I search out the aquifer

My soul longs for a drenching, let it wash over

I reach out to accept its’ comfort

I want to immerse myself in the glorious flood

It envelops me in warmth and placates me

Soothes my muscles, and settles my heart

The calming flow sluices over me, cleansing my spirit

It relieves the stress of day to day life

My wrinkled skin cries out to absorb it,

To be caressed by it, at one with the flow

Pour it on, the stream never gets cold

The rapture and glory, never grows stale or is wasted

It’s love, of course, I wish would rain on me so readily

May I never again be in a barren wasteland without a drop to behold
