Watering Time
stepping
I skid
to my lips
I sip
on my boat
I skip
from my arms
I drip
I dive through
I zip
my hands grasp
I slip
bucket with leak
won't fill
my story
doesn't hold water
truth that's weak
leaks out.
water like time,
slips, slides away, can't be held
makes its way through cracks.
with drips and drops
it wears away a stone.
wily water has a will of its own
its goes where

Watering myself
When you think about when’s the last time you’ve done something for yourself does it take you a while to remember?
Are you always looking around to focus on being there for others?
It is nice to have people that are there and you can be there for each other
I don’t see nothing wrong with watering myself

Watering the Garden
How I miss Spring with showers supreme
rainy weather kept everything green
But now it's June in the summer heat
have to water or it's your garden's defeat
An early heatwave it is blazing hot
everything gets scorched especially in a pot
so watering each morning never stops
thirsty plants need watering a lot
With a garden hose and nozzle galore
I water and

African Watering Hole
African watering hole is a spiritually sacred spot
there is an understood truce when the animals appear
ancestral ancient spirits keep watch and peace
over cranes, zebras, tigers, gulls and giraffes
tigers, tigers, cobras and mosquitoes are welcome
none would dare tear apart an animal here or give them malaria
father lion is watching as is mother ape and brother python

Watering Your Future
Expect God to intervene
In your life in a fresh way
Roll away your anxieties and
See God move in a new way
To do His extraordinary work
Reign with God in the heavenly
Sit with Him in the seat
That He has prepared for you
For His glory is about to rain
God is opening heavens to rain
Rain of healing, rain of

Watering On
Once, I felt like a hole in a river;
Now, I’m floating on waves from the Giver.
A silly fish, I won’t be—
Breaking my bowl to be free:-
Baiting girl—I’ll just swim and ignore her.

Love Needs Constant Watering
True love is not a fleeting thing, a fading flower
To be tossed aside when it begins to wither,
But revived, replenished, methodically nurtured,
Restoring the natural beauty it had in its beginning.
Comes the time when lustful romancing subsides,
Matures, perhaps, is the better word to explain—
But the foundational love remains to be watered
And fed, overshadowing the disappointments
That come

Watering Gaian Grace
One of the least talked about,
yet most problematic issues
for regenerating
Global
social-psychological
mental and physical
health and public safety
movements
Well fed and watered
to empower and enlighten interfaith
action and reflection,
song and dance
liturgical and fire-circle
contemporary-indigenous wisdom
Is to explore together
how and when to work around
and with patriarchal clergy leadership.
Even if a skilled multicultural facilitator
invites a lay-leader on-line discussion group
of cooperative environmental

Mouth Watering Mystery
Two pieces of yummy toast.
Spread with your favorite mayonnaise.
Add bacon, m-m m crisp and fried.

Finally,red, ripe, luscious tomatoes.
My hands are already shaking!
The BLT sandwich, a delectable, foodie's treat.

Watering Hole
Apart from the worn stone-step
where drunks still topple
all has changed.
Now a neon glow backlights a plasticized fascia.
In the in the parking lot two blonds face-off.
one has extra-large ear bangles,
and she rattles like a Zulu warrior,
fingers stabbing through cuss-words.
Youths shout
over the clomping-thump
of their car radios.
I used to come here often
I explain to my incredulous wife.
“Good

Watering the Garden of Dreams
Sowing seeds at summer
Barren ground will bear no green
Like planting hundred of dreams
In a garden of dreams that fail
Sowing seeds at winter
Sprout, bear flowers in Spring
Watering the garden of dreams
To grow it well and flourish soon
Watering it with love and compassion
With eagerness and determination
Watering it with inspiration and hope
With triumph,
