Weary from the long days
The difficult days
Dry in my Spirit
Soul on toward empty
Desert days
Walking sometimes aimlessly
Numb, unaware
Sometimes wanting to die
And then I see
before my eyes
A beautiful sight
just in time
An oasis in my desert
flowing with fresh water
Drenching and refreshing
deep within
Stagnant waters
now moving
Stirring and cleansing
washing away
Restarting the springs
of living waters
A wellspring of life
flowing through me
Newfound peace
Extravagant rest
Finding You
or did You find me?
Filling and fulfilling
Invigorating and thrilling
Bringing near dead
back to fully alive
Strength returning
Clarity and wisdom
Exquisite friendship
Abiding love

well put together the words and the photo. Both flowing together.Well done.
I just love waterfalls...reminds me of the days I lived in Guam and used to climb them often. So breathtaking ...
Thanks for sharing!

Water, invigorating, refreshing ... all great imagery. You also pick great pictures to go with your poems.
More! More!
A stunning photo and remarkable words. Just wonderful!
Your raw and descriptive words could bring such comfort to others who are going through trying times....not just through the blogosphere...any thoughts of publishing your poems? They are all incredible!
I love the imagery of the waterfall, and how your poetry always tells a story from your experiences in life.
