in the midst of your Sahara
parched with fear, or weary
with looking for some oasis—
some relief from your distress
a lake before your feet
awaits your own discovery
shimmering with grace
deep within, healing waters
flow from the fount of Soul
kneeling, you feel a trickle first
then in your yielding, a stream
cleansing you, refreshing you,
buoying you above the mortal view
a river quenching all your thirst
so you find yourself and others
totally engulfed, immersed in Love
I have felt it gush upon my brother
and I was healed by God’s Niagara love.
