Waters Around Us

Since King David,

    and long before, 

      and even still, 

        souls have searched,

         lingered in longing,

for the flowing streams.

Satisfying streams,

   thirst quenching, 

     life giving, 

      living water,

       flowing from outside, 

filling everything within.

The smallest stream, 

    first a spring, 

      then a river, 

        moving waters

          with us inside

taking us toward home.  

Ever closer to God, 

    the Creator, 

      the Keeper, 

        the Provider,

          of everything

needed for living and rising.
