Len Gasun Poet Kyrielle

Lifes Water

Life's Water

Midst the scorching heat of the sun
Lots of day’s work, still left undone 
Profuse sweating never consoles
Life’s water, hear my urgent call

My throat has sore at drying up
Seems bringing me a big mishap
I need you badly fresh and cool
Life’s water, hear my urgent call

My plants are dying, less flowers
Dried leaves on the ground are towers
I’m so desperate like a fool
Life’s water, hear my urgent call

My life too - seems drained and empty
Nourishment I then asked to Thee
God has cleaned and quenched my parched soul
Life’s water heard my urgent call

John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Barbara Barry-Nishanian August 7, 2022 at 1:18 AM Kyrielle, never heard of this. You've educated me in this lovely poem. Len Gasun August 7, 2022 at 7:02 AM This is the second Kyrielle I wrote since I joined PS my dear friend Barbara. It's hard but PS is teaching me until now how to write special types of poems. Before, I've joined PS, I was only writing things that popped up my head or felt deep in my heart without limit of words/meter. Thanks to PS and all of you who are lovingly sharing ideas and good examples. Thanks also to the frequent hosts of contests encouraging us to write more. Thanks a lot my dear friend for stopping by and your kind words. May I visit your page again soon? Ty in advance. God bless you always. Hugs
