Best Dry Land Poems


Sailing On Dry Land
Searching through the memories lost deep within my heart.
Of someone I no longer know that long ago did part.
The mornings gathered years of dust.
As the future I no longer trust.

Embracing tides that washed away.
That dust that gathered in the day.
Left empty slates to start anew.
But...

At the end of the day
as the large orange orb
sank into the distance
a misty pink glow
sat upon the western sky
in the stillness of the evening
where not even a whisper of wind
dared break the silence
the oppressive heat of the day
had slowly dissipated
as dusk settled cooling
the baked...

Sorrows of a Dry Land
Sorrows of a dry land
Where hunger and thirst
Have no end
The heat on winter
Doesn’t get better but hotter
People don’t drink 
But rather miss water
Plants keep dying
But non keep growing
Rivers keep drying
With no rain to keep flowing
Birds and animals die
And get melted by the heat
Worms don’t feed
But...

Living In a Dry Land
The who choose to live in a dry land
must live a very dry life---
too parched to sing, too dried out
by what they call 'reason' to see, 
to see they have made it hollow,
a partial thing, a blind thing....

They have made their world so arid
even hope...

Premium Member Preference For Dry Land
Please don’t rock the boat as you have before.
It is an awfully long swim to shore.
Our boat has gone out with the last tide.
I would like to get safely to the other side.
The wind has caught our sails as we are moving along.
If we stay...

A Starfish On Dry Land
"A STARFISH ON DRY LAND"


she’s filled in the empty
space of my bed.
she’s just given me all of 
her pain as she rests her 
head on my chest.
she’s here.
her hair is curled and full
of the love she thought was 
gone.
in a few minutes, I’ll kiss
her goodnight...

The Veins In the Leaf In a Dry Land
The veins in the leaf are molecules that transport water along with sugar - you say where, to the brain, to what, the nuclease of what the plant is, what?
The soil is only so deep, large trees dig deep, small flowers don't have the capacity.
There...

Sorrow Drowns On Dry Land
Sorrow drowns on dry land 


Standing at a distance,
staring at staggered lines 
on a rock face outcropping
buried deep beneath 
an ancient rose garden

Corroded iron bars
chained and bolted,
left for dead as brittle petals
find a funnel cloud forming
and dance in a whirlwind mosaic

Disguised bold lettering
of forgotten fonts...

Premium Member Feet On Dry Land
Feet on dry land, breathing fresh air,
Fire and water entwine 
Behold how love with love does pair
Bliss pulsations divine

Everywhere grace abounds
Within, Ohm gong resounds
As each life breath astounds

God’s candle stand 
Feet on dry land

Dry Land
If there was a someone,
An island upon which to rest,
I'd beach myself so gladly,
From this ocean I detest,
Be my refuge from the tides,
They drag me under often,
I wish to wake upon dry land,
Marooned at daylight's dawning.
If your arms are my salvation,
I'll shipwreck this drowning heart,
Be...

I'm here looking at the sky,

Water in a Dry Land
A mental landscape of shifting sand dunes.
an intimation that something may be worth writing,

A scrabbling creature crawls bedraggled out from
a saturated darkness.

A Scarab beetles shadow takes hesitant form.

Watch as words ripple above infertile ground,
see how serpentine they flow.

Yet another poem about Creation is arriving.

Adam is...

Dry Land Farming
Beyond the horizon I look for the clouds;
Waiting for the rain drops on the parched land.
I crave longing for the sown seed to sprout
Existence to circumvent our turmoil:

Each day passes with hope for tomorrow;
Will I see the day when our fields go green?

The Lake Side Church
David J Walker

The Lake Side Church reminds me
That Jesus walked on water
Jesus fed fish to the 
Uncounted multitudes
Jesus calling out to Peter 
and his brothers 
to abandon their boats and nets 
and follow Him

The Lake Side Church reminds me
God separated the 
Waters...
