And when the wind
glances over
the trees
the leaves drop
their dew
and a million pearls
of light
fall
over me.
if I open my mouth;
lift glistening face
to sky--
let one roll under
my tongue…
this thirst inside might be quenched.
but I press my lips
together—
look straight ahead
because I know
this sweet thirst is
a silky
thread
that
pulls onward.
so I pass through a web
of light
and don
a
dewy gown
illumined like the dawn...
I
arrive thirsting.

Yes it is beautiful and I love the picture too.
Laura--I wrote about thirsting over this way today, too. But yours is so lovely. wow. It's a joy to see how God's given each such different, beautiful voices to share another view of the same thoughts.
