Living Waters

one drop drenches me

yet you come with empty hearts

I am but human

a simple conduit 

of the love and

simplicity you seek

             *

a gift cannot belong to me

to you

to anyone really

we are all

passing currencies

              *

an open hand with

an empty heart will not

obtain what it aspires

              *

look up, look around

there is but one source

it is not at my door,

it is in my heart

               *

it pleases me to share,

to smile, to love

please know, however, dear one

if it is an empty heart you yearn to satisfy

it

takes

but

one

drop

                *

when you seek that, you will

encounter

that what you find comes

not from me, but He

                 *

it continues then

through you

through me

through all eternity
