Empty, Full or Satisfied

Posted on September 9, 2016 by Mary (tqhousecat)

“The full soul loathes a honeycomb, but to the hungry every bitter thing is sweet.” Pr 27:6

Heal

Rain falls on parched land

The sound of it comforts

Healing and restoring all that is withered

It quiets my restless soul

Rain beats down on sated land

Pouring into streets

Rushing its way into houses

As foundations crumble

And rooms are stained

With remnants of too-soon memories

The same rain heals and destroys

Is there not one who does not need healing

The place God is found so all else can go

——

Five Minute Friday

    Hi, Mary. What a thoughtful post about the extreme qualities of water. Such an interesting take on the word “heal.” THIS: “The sound of it comforts Healing and restoring all that is withered It quiets my restless soul”
    So nice to meet you,
    Shauna (Your neighbour down the street in FMF#55. 🙂
