Life giving water!

This poem came to me as I was, resting, during a hike along, Salmon creek, near my home. Rock


As I lay beside the gentle rill, I spied a trout go by
it stopped and turned upstream
waiting to inhale a water spider
or dine on an unsuspecting, fly

It didn't chase it's prey, swimming to and fro
it just lie there in suspended animation
knowing food would come it's way
with the water's steady flow

Like the provision of the, water in that mountain stream
God's bounty will surely come your way
if you but turn in His direction
and let His life giving water, provide your needs
while keeping your instinct to feed
the lusts of the flesh, in control
and at bay


"The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life"~~ Rev 22:17

Your spirituality shines through in your poetry, as I'm sure it shines through your example.

Following God's direction will feed your soul, always.

God bless you,
