Poem Artwork

i know that You are God. 

You have the power to keep me
under Your pen, begging for more.

waiting --- endless waiting!  for Your
words to spill onto my head, to run
down my face, to pool in my mouth ---

pearls. 

bubbles of life i tuck between my teeth,
pop
when the legs grow weak, when the
sun burns too hot --- down to my last.

how much longer must i wander in the
desert without Your blessing?

hurry.  it's been too long ---

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (5/17)

He doesn't leave you for long, Karla, not even as you lament His "absence". Gorgeous picture, and, too, in which I see the ancient spark of our life.

If it is true that all comes from the source, these too are his words. It is only our quest to feel them still as being from the source. LadyJ

Beautifully image...both the photo and the one created by your words. But...blessings are always all around us, sometimes we just have to look a little harder to find them. Keep looking they are there...

I believe those dry spells is when the good Lord is telling us to slow down for even He never made the world in a day dear. Thank you for sharing.

"For every dry well I will give you a tenfold said the Lord" just look around and a little shadow will tell you that inspiration just felt and needs to be taken up.

Karla, I look at a "dry spell" as a chance for us to sit and meditate...to catch our breath...and you know what? You'll be back and better than ever!
