River of Living Waters

I went to You for just a sip.

To my surprise, You handed me a pale.

So I drank to my heart’s content.

Drank so much it made me frail.

I can feel a current coursing through my soul.

It’s a violent vortex. Yet, like a hundred stained glass windows, it glimmers and gleams.

Its ripples rent, rip, and rive. Yet, like a thousand stars on the face of the night, it shimmies and shines.

It’s a terrible torrent. Yet, like the moonlight on a canvas of water, it glistens and glows.

I know a current is coursing through my soul.

I don’t just feel but now I know.

Though at times my mind may doubt,

This river of life will forever flow.

You and You alone do I thank for this fount.
