In the Dry Times
In the Dry Times
David J Walker
In the dry times
My roots are forced
To reach deeper into my soul
Strengthening my hold on
The ground afforded me
Here, I learn to live with
And without rain
Weeping when it comes
And sleeping in its nourishing quench
Dreaming of its meaning
Exposed in a flash of lightning
I know it’s clouds will move on
I know they will return
