Drought

when dusts get dusty
following winds freely
when plants brown adopt
as their national theme

when the herdsmen search
finding no pasture for the starving herd
when the earth's beauty leave
making all desert like

when the farmer heave
waiting like the Christians
Upon a Jesus that says he will come
Then, Drought has conquered

This is a very deep one..Yes, it has been a long wait for Jesus' return but have faith will come again for His own..It is thundering off in a distance now and the wind is blowing with the clouds getting darker...I feel an abunbance of rain.Looking for to reading more of your very expressive and descriptive works..I can see the dark skinned herdsman with a stick walking with this herd....Sara
