Change Needed

.




                                                    Long dry spell so hot 
                                         Unpaved road sends billows sheets
                                             Dust in house__ blessed rain







(Remembering when a child, one summer it was more than a month without rain....Then rain 
came in huge droplets...Dust would float up from the raindrops that hit the ground...When we 
finally got rain, it was like one of the greatest blessings from God.)

Yes Sara, like the world is in need of a good rain of the Agape, Spirit of truth right now. The world has been far too long ruled by the carnal minds of men. Lets pray for the lattar rain, that is promised to us.Smile, Agape, Moses

This brings to mind trhe Rainmaker and the diving rods. It certainly presents a picture. I like this. A drought can be one of nature's true harbingers of dread. Regards, Gerard.

Last year we had a long dry spell, this year it was too cold with only few rain. Imagine if it rains in the desert and flowers shoot up from the barren soil--a lovely picture! Nicely written Haiku, Sara...Keep your pen flowing...Gert
