Reservoir

Reservoir Filled with quiet secrets Often hidden from our sight There's stillness to the surface In depth, there's strength and might. People gather and are drawn to The impressive stature, surely There is peace around this entity In spite of walls, so burly Made by man it may be But a lesson lies within.. There's a sense of holy presence Past the water's surface, thin. With it's patience comes the wisdom To relieve our hearts, so dry And the fresh taste of the truth is Of a purpose from on high In the dryness of this season; Parched air cracking at our throats We hear hope of restoration As we huddle in our boats A reservoir we can all be.. Attractive bright and pure. From stillness starts a journey To the driest captive's door Let's aspire to be filled up With that clear pure water, bright. May the tired, the lost, the thirsty Be the ones to know respite And as rain descends from heaven Filling hearts up to the brim What we capture will define us; How we fall and how we win. So avoid the murky waters As you travel round this land Be the bringer of refreshment In your words and in your hand Let the purest water top up Every deep part of your soul May the parts of you together Make you more than just the whole.
