I have lingered in my own, inner desert
Clinging to dried up habits.
This dry soil has been my home.
I saw little growth or change.
Yet I yearned for the rain of Mercy
To soak the hard crust of fear,
To awaken my writers soul.
The seeds of thought germinate.
Assimilated emotions, reflections,
Connected quotes and philosophy
Integrated.
Words sprout
Grow into stories
The creative process is subconscious
Energized by the Spirit
I am coming back to life
Through the flow of words
Sheltered under Gabriel’s wings
Freedom to flow
In the Word
With the Word
Through the Word

Lovely! I always find, too, that prayer and artistic fruitfulness are so connected…the Holy Spirit is a wonderful muse!

I love this–it’s poetry for sure! Here’s a recent blog I did on drought in our lives, too–because we all experience it.
