Water of Life

I
On this terrestrial ball
Water is it, almost all
But for prayer

II
When love blooms, we can fast
Avoid breakfast, any repast
But "whence such love"?

III
Prayer will consume private sins
Or Sins "will choke prayer,"
Wrote J.C. Ryle before dying (1900)

IV
When all is dark and I'm hopeless
Yet i pray (Thy will be done, O Universe)
Because prayer is my water, living water.

Here in Western Australia, we turn sea water in to fresh. Your poetry so apt, prayer and water the elixir of life.. Login to Reply Anil Deo Date: 9/17/2022 5:20:00 AM Amen, Sir Harry. Poverty & scarcity brings out our better qualities. When America was discovered manybgotvspoiked: resources were "limitless" as the bison/ buffalo. Only 19 were left of bison, which Smithsonian ( Smithsonian was British) the institution bred/ inbred these endangered species PTL
