Flowing With Milk and Honey

Take me to that land That land flowing “with milk and honey” That rich fertile land Where everything flourishes Where everything is sweet Good to eat Where nothing decays Where goodness remains Preserved Through all the age Take me to your land For you flow with honey “the nectar of the sun” Your taste lingers on my lips My mouth burns with your sweetness I find healing as I take you in And am nourished Satisfied Unworried For I know Honey never spoils It remains It’s essence unchangeable Sweet It will keep Forever Like ancients of old I spread honey on my wounds To remove life’s sting Honey to help me sleep When nightmares creep And steal away my joy Honey…. Pure, sweet....honey A land of “milk and honey” An abundance of milk To satiate No dryness but streams Found on demand An ever ready fountain Flowing….. Making life grow in me Take me to that land Where all is nourishing and sweet That land where you are My soul, my life, Feed me these delicate treats For I am famished Longing to eat….
