1071

 There at the very edge of longing

A glass of water pursued her lips

Ruby like bunched grapes

From a compote hanging


What is it to quench perseverance

Purposed of passion's desire

It is but a glass of water

In the middle of reverence

    Water is all important for our lives. Towards the end I was reminded of the bottle of water that I brought back with me from the Jordan river. I call it my holy water.

      😇 Lovely to hear of your Jordan River holy water.
      We are back to Holy Water in our founts at church as well. The sanitizer booths are gone

    That water that sustains us. Seems so simple but is so very important. Thank you for reminding me with your words.

    I love the idea of a glass of water pursuing someone’s lips, Gillena! I cannot understand people who don’t drink water.
