The Rainmaker


Rainmaker


O Lord
you are as
a sweet mist that
settles softly upon me
falling gently as light rain
with words from your mouth
cleansing my wet upturned face
as rushing rivulets of your love are
seeping into the deep river of my soul
that is ever widening until it overflows
immersed in the torrents of your spirit
drenching my dry and so thirsty heart
filling my empty cup full to the brim
your rain dancing all around me
spills  into  another  soul



{written in 1999 by me}

Go dance in His rain today.

And remember 
that 
you 
are 
His 
raindrop
falling 
on 
thirsty
soil.

Joye,

You are definitely a raindrop for my thirsty soul. I love how your poem looks like a drop too. You are gifted and I would definitely love to have a book written by you! Don't give up on that dream!!
