Thirst quenching

Each breath drawn
slowly, waiting
on the edge
of unexplained tears
for the new thing
He promises

Lake light
shimmers
as the sun dies
in thirst quenching beauty

Water holding secrets
never to be told.

    Love not only the imagery in the poem but the depth of spiritual meaning.

    Oh what secrets the water holds…
    Bless you

    Those secrets, never shared -- never spoken, never realized. Good poem, Karin.

    The submerged secrets can create spiritual turbulence...He calms rough seas though given the chance.

    Amen
