God's Word

I move to a new place – 
from the desert of me
to the oasis; from the 
valleys I have seeded
to the peaks I have 
learned – though they
blossom when we shower
in our droughts hotly 
burn – 

“No substitute for God's
word!” said the Dove
to the Phoenix, both far wiser

than any chirping garden
bird –

Thank you, Pangie; I try to write a poem like tapestry -- sometimes it works. Apparently here I have succeeded somewhat. Thank you for taking precious time to read my work, and encourage my progress. Blessings my friend!
